Imposing our will for our life upon our life presumes to know more than our life knows about what is good for it and what is not good for it. Listening to our life, trusting our live, serving our life, is quite different from seeking and serving our life's will for itself. Will and ambition, aspiration, intention, scheming and contriving are direct efforts to sabotage our life and thwart its purposes and goals. Our life is designed/equipped to be aligned with itself, so that our original nature and innate virtues/traits/specialties/forte are applied to each situation as it arises in expressing, exhibiting, bringing forth who we are and how we are capable of living in response to what is happening and doing what is called for through all circumstances and occasions. Holding our strengths back and substituting craft and guile puts an end to what could have been, leaving sincerity and integrity with no way of making themselves known. And a life without sincerity and integrity is a contradiction in terms.
