I mulled over countless options and probably drove my friends and family crazy by presenting them with a new idea every time we talked. But, eventually, I managed to come up with a plan and even put it into action: I left my job, I began the process of selling my condo and I decided to move to a cabin near Mount Lassen where I’ll live for a while before fully hitting the road. Progress! Movement! Things are happening!
Any then? Then some wacko pushes a burning car into a gulch near Chico, CA which ignites one of the largest wildfires in California history. Why is this a problem? Because that fire has already grown to nearly 400,000 acres and is closing in on the exact cabin where I have been planning to move. How ironic.
Now, I don’t want to make this all about me—I’ll be fine either way. But, regardless of whether or not the cabin burns, this is such a stark reminder of how pointless it is to get attached to the outcome or to stress about the details. One burning car could change everything.
Similarly, all of the stress and anxiety I’ve been feeling while watching the fire spread is also pointless—my stress levels have literally zero impact on a wildfire. The lesson is to let go of that which is out of my control (which is a lot) and to just enjoy the ride. Because life is not a predictable merry-go-round, it’s a rollercoaster—one moment it feels like I’m about to die and the next I’m giggling like a child. Glorious.
