Life x career v.2

I find it weird that I could ever claim that I was in control of my life, but wasn't in control of my career.

Now I think it's the other way round as I increasingly often feel there is someone else in charge.

In this life we are like stubborn horses put into harnesses and shafts. At first, we kick. We want to live according to our will. We break the shafts, snap the harness, do not go anywhere, and become exhausted. Finally when we are at the end and we are not thinking about getting our own way anymore, we give in to the Higher Will, and things move forward. This is when we find peace and happiness.
