Shownotes Transcript

As a player on a football pitch, you want the terrain to be as flat as possible without any unevenness. Then you can play the ball optimally, you don't stumble and the passes arrive. But if the terrain is uneven, that's no longer possible, then it becomes unpredictable, which is annoying for many. In our lives today in the West, we very often take such a flat, self-evident assumption for granted: everything should and must work the way we plan it, imagine it, expect it. But what if it doesn't work out that way, if something interferes with our plans, if something unexpected happens, etc.? What do you do then? Do you blame the circumstances, get angry? Or do you see, in addition to the small everyday unevenness, the far greater level of success of the things that function as a matter of course - even though they are not? For example, that your heart beats without you being able to do anything about it or that there is enough oxygen to breathe etc.? Do you rather see the small hills or the big plain?

I wish you an extraordinary day!
