Being the Ball

" I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball. " -Caddyshack

Possibly the greatest quote of all time. This outlook on life would help many, many people from some every day stresses. Because when it comes down to it, we really have no control over the outcome of most situations. Yet we continue to pretend like we do. I think we can all admit we get wrapped up in some situations. Maybe for a couple minutes or a couple months, but after it is all said and done, how much do we ever change the future? Maybe its a philosophical or religious question, but honestly, how many future plans are ever followed exactly? I want to say none. At least none of my plans work out. So its not giving up and saying you have no input as to what eventually happens to you in life. It is being realistic and accepting the fact that all you can really do is worry about being the ball, staying positive, and just going with the flow.
