This is a clip Dad found in his files. He can't remember where he got it.

"When you try to do things, and they will not go the way you want, leave them alone. Do not try to force things the way you would like them to go. Just leave them alone. Do your best, obey the law of love, and you will be surprised at how circumstances will work out far better for you than if you had had your own way. Let God have His way, and you just be patient and wait. Be calm, steadfast and peaceful. Accept things as they come and do not be rushed into wrong decisions or overcome by the forces of ignorance. Be steadfast, with a quiet, inner, peaceful persistence, knowing that the Great Architect of the Universe holds the plan of your life in His hands."
