Free your mind, and the rest will follow.

So, what it's saying is .... "There's nothing you can do about it at this point. Let Nature take its course."
This is not exactly what I was hoping to hear. I wished for "Your effort will soon be rewarded," or "Hard times are behind you" or something that signals that my luck turing in a positive direction.

Of course I can interpret this as "I free my mind and everything will turn out fine."

Then the question becomes "how does one free her mind?" and "from what, exactly?"

As I open my fortune cookie only when I have a specific issue (often negative), I reason in this context. This time, it is not a problem that I am dealing with. I am awaiting a verdict to be announced (imminent!) on my piece of work. I don't get to decide. They do. Free my mind, indeed. It serves absolutely no good purpose to ponder and fret over other people's decision. The rest will follow, as usual.

Free my mind, think of something else. It's useless. Gosh, how I wish I could tolerate alcohol to help freeing my mind!
