Whenever you've desperately tried to control the outcome, meaning you put enormous importance on the outcome, how did it work out for you? Usually does not work out the way I want. Why? It's just some things in life you can't control. A quantum physicist wrote this, right? It's like, if you try to control the outcome too much, then balancing forces will come in and balance it out, and they will put obstacles in your way so you won't get what you want. So the best thing you can do is just keep doing what you do and not care too much about the outcome. And whenever you do that, whenever I do that, everything just happens, right?
