Books Quote by Holly Sprink
““Author Denise Roy talks about our attachment to our own will, calling it Plan A. “My trouble,” she says, “is that I think there is a track that things should stay on. I’m hooked to a belief that life should go a certain way. I develop an attachment to Plan A and set up my expectations accordingly. An important part of spiritual practice is to learn to let go, to recognize that Plan A exists only in my head.”1 We need to learn to dive into reality with all of our energies instead of reluctantly dipping our toes into life because it doesn’t flow with our expectations.””
