"Many times have found me on my knees because I had nowhere else to go."
Abraham Lincoln
Self-actualizers often refer to some "invisible hand" guiding their lives. The
extent to which we act with confidence or trust in life's invisible hand tends to match
the degree that we see it confirmed in our life because life is like a Rorschach ink blot
test where we tend to find whatever we look for. It's like a six-foot magnifying glass
revealing just what we're becoming.
As we trust life and see things somehow working out, it convinces us there must be some
level of wisdom operating that reflects a power far greater than ours that intervenes to
cause exactly the right things to happen in our lives for our growth.
Recognizing this cause us to change our orientation. We no longer so much try to get our
way on things, but rather, try to keep moving toward higher levels of understanding of
what life wants for us, because we see the relationship between how well we do this and
how much better our life becomes.
