“By letting it go it all gets done”
— Laozi

Simplified Meaning:
When you stop trying to control everything, things often fall into place on their own. Imagine you're holding a tight grip on a rope; your hands start to hurt and it’s hard to manage anything else. But once you relax and release the rope, your hands are free to do more useful tasks. In life, this means if you stress less and trust the process, everything will work out more smoothly. For example, if you're constantly checking on a cake in the oven, it won't bake any faster and you might end up messing it up. But if you follow the recipe, set a timer, and wait, the cake will bake perfectly. So, sometimes, the best way to handle a challenge is to stop worrying about it so much and let things unfold naturally.
