The story of your life has already happened. You are only experiencing it in time. The anguish that you feel regarding missed opportunities and unfulfilled desires and the anxieties about the future is the only free will that you have. When you realize that your life story, including your birth and death, have already occurred, and all that you get to choose are your responses to the story of your life, there comes over a great calmness.
To deeply realize that your entire life is nothing but a role of film being played out can be scary at first. The only choice that you really have is in your response to the story being played out. Your peculiar tendencies and life circumstances are already decided. You can only choose to go with the flow or resist it. To flow willingly or unwillingly. That is really the only choice that you have.
If you are wise, you will flow willingly with life. To resist the inevitable flow is foolishness and invites suffering. The choice is yours.
