This quote I need to read daily

"When you stop trying to live the "right" way, you live the real way. More wonder, less control, more play, less proving. Because trees don't strive to be trees, and waves don't try to crash correctly...they just ARE."
-Alan Watts

Not sure what he means by the right way? We should always strive to be honest and kind and obey the rules! Thinking he may mean living the way others think we should live and we all are different and need to understand that .

@2ndtimeguy I believe by "right " way he means, trying to get everything right or control things. To feel we always need to be or do more etc. That that is not how to live.
