There was a spiritual teacher in the 70’s that I felt had some wisdom. I went to hear him speak, and afterward he allowed people to ask questions. A guy down front stood and, at length, talked about the fact that an opportunity had come into his life, but he was having trouble “getting it together” to do something about it. Finally, he said that he had decided it didn’t matter. If he blew the opportunity, the universe would find a way to give him another one because that’s how the universe worked. The teacher looked at him silently, lengthily, then said, “No, man. It doesn’t work that way. If you blow this opportunity, this gift, then it’s blown. Forever.”
