“Let go.” It's important to have intentions to know what you want to do, to try to do your best, but you just can’t control everything. And if you let go, go with the flow, and are very flexible and open to the possibility that something you hadn’t anticipated might provide you joy, then you’ll be much more relaxed. The Taoist philosophers — Chuang Tzu, Lao Tzu — say that flexibility is the most important quality to be happy.

[A]s Deloria so presciently explained, the struggle between space (locality) and time (universality) defines so much of our politics. Western cultures see the world through universal visions of time, where something is true universally across time if it is indeed true; meanwhile, indigenous cultures live in a space that contextualizes knowledge. Something is true in that space, but is not necessarily true everywhere; and, this knowledge is developed through trial and error, and memory.
