Everything that happens to us combines to make us who we are.Every choice that we make has repercussions that can affect our future in some way.Most of these repercussions are quite small and have little bearing on our overall future while some can have a huge impact.
Some people believe that every step of their life is pre ordained,that things occur according to a strict blueprint that it is impossible to deviate from.I do not subscribe to such a belief.Our creator has blessed us with free will and reason,we have been given what we need in order to prosper and not squander this gift.As we make thousands of little decisions throughout our week we also have thousands of little results to deal with.The thousands of people whom we meet can each have some effect on our lives,some good,some bad,and some where it might actually be difficult to tell.Every day is new although,for most of us,very similar to the days that have come before.
There are things in our lives that are under our control and some things that are not.If you are truly happy with your life and the direction it is going keep doing what you are doing.If your life is somewhat less than you would like it to be then continuing to do the same things will not cause anything to change for the better. We have to be willing to accept responsibility for much of our situation.I guess the difficult part is knowing the difference.
