Men are born soft and supple;
dead they are stiff and hard.
Plants are born tender and pliant;
dead, they are brittle and dry.
Thus who is ever stiff and inflexible
is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life.
The hard and stiff will be broken.
The soft and supple will prevail.
Lao Tzu, Chapter 76 Tao Te Ching
We really do need to let Life do what it is doing and flow with it rather than against it. We need to let go of our personal preferences that Life should be a certain way to suit us.
And as Michael Singer says,
If you really do not want to let go of your preferences, then prefer everything.
All is well
