Move with Life, Not Against It

“Man plans, and God laughs.” – Yiddish Proverb

You may set your intentions, build your goals, and design elaborate plans—but never forget: a greater, unseen plan will always supersede your own.

When your will is not in alignment with the greater universal order, frustration and suffering tend to follow. Like a dog on a leash chasing a moving car, complete resistance only leads to pain.

The truth is simple:
You can move forward willingly—or be dragged unwillingly.

Nature will never force you. Providence won’t shove you. But when you insist on your way at the cost of wisdom, life will teach you through discomfort. Your leash is not a prison—it’s a boundary of grace, long enough for you to explore, create, achieve, and experience joy.

But it is also a reminder: You are not in control of everything.

Your job is not to overpower the greater plan—it’s to learn how to move with it, to recognize when resistance is no longer strength, but stubbornness.

Accept unseen Providence. Align your plans, but hold them lightly. There’s more peace, progress, and fulfillment in cooperation than in control.
