You must let what happens happen. Everything must be equal in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise.

Michael Ende
About This Quote

When you face a challenge, you have to be open to the possibility that it could go either way. If you have a problem, there is a solution. But the only way to find the solution is to be open to it. Think of a problem as something that has a solution, but you have to go out and look for it.

Letting what happens happen is a difficult concept for many people because we all want things to go our way. If someone were to give me advice about letting what happens happen, I would say it takes courage. It’s easier to fight what happens by trying every possibility until you find the right answer.

In this quote, Shakespeare was speaking about never giving up on your dreams because everything must be equal in your eyes, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, foolish and wise.
