Picking Ripe Lemons Effortlessly

One of the perks of the CF ecosystem are its genuine people.  You never know what you are going to learn, on what random email thread.  Recently, I was on a thread where someone wrote: "I am trying to put my faith in the belief that everything will happen when the time ripens but am also confused as to how to recognize that moment because out of strong desire and anxiousness I may the urge to pick fruit that is not ripe and should I really be picking fruit or allowing the fruit to pick me?"  And to that Nipun shared his mom's wisdom that was eye-opening for me ... "When I go pick lemons from our backyard, my mom would tell me: 'Only pick the ripe ones.'  Then I'd ask, 'How do I know which ones are ripe?'  'The one which you can pluck effortlessly," she'd yell out from a distance.  "And that's how it is with life too. :)"
