About This Quote

People who are particular about things often end up creating their own rules and regulations. They can become extremely annoying and may even feel like they are being attacked by the people around them. It is best to relax and not let your habits or opinions dictate everyone else’s life. There is a saying that goes, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to get it.” And, although it is said that we must do our best to help ourselves and see the world as it really is, we must also remember that we also have a part to play. If we would just focus on what we can do at any given moment, rather than what we cannot do, we could free ourselves from the tyranny of our own thoughts and feelings.
