Came across a super profound line today in a blog.
As we reflect on the everyday events and actions that we experience and ascribe ownership to, we realise that in almost all cases, our actions involve a thought, a call or an accidental meeting, over none of which we exercise control. Acknowledging this will, over time, help us reduce our entanglement with the sense of doership.
Was thinking about a good idea I had at work recently.
But where did the idea come from?
Really from me?
Why did it only occur then, and not one year ago? Or one year later?
How much control do we really have?
When we think from this perspective, undoing doership is not just easy but also obvious and absolutely necessary and mandatory.
