Tossing a key
You don't even think about it and it works out. You try, it doesn't. You try harder, it really doesn't.
In many ways, this feels like the story of my life. If I try, I fail. If I go in not caring, I find success.
Trying too hard narrows the desirable outcomes.
Expectations are the enemy here — they limit the number of great landing spots, and make the idealized one impossibly hard. Relax your expectations, and hundreds of positive possibilities open up.
