If we can just let go and trust that things will work out they way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.

The quotation advocates a stance of non-attachment: releasing the urge to micromanage results and instead trusting the unfolding of events. It suggests that anxiety often comes from clinging to a preferred outcome; when that grip loosens, attention returns to the present moment, making experience richer and more vivid. The second sentence intensifies the claim by proposing that the felt “freedom” of relinquishing control can surpass the pleasure of the event itself—because it removes fear, self-judgment, and anticipatory disappointment. In effect, the quote frames joy less as something produced by circumstances than as a byproduct of an inner posture toward uncertainty.
