Life never gets resolved
When I was a kid, I just assumed that when I grew up, I’d have all of THE answers. I’d know what I wanted and how I was going to get it. I thought that there would come this magical time in the future when all of my questions and fears would melt away and I’d know I was going to be happy, no matter what.
Well, come to find out, that day never really comes.
The truth is the only way I know for sure that I’m going to be okay is by having faith in myself to handle whatever comes along and by forgiving myself when I screw up.
Because I can’t avoid screwing up.
I’ve made mistakes in the past and I’m pretty freakin’ sure I’m gonna mess something up in the future too! 
The only thing I really truly have any control over is my own attitude.
If I approach a situation thinking “Oh Crap! This is gonna SUCK!!” then chances are that my attitude is going to poison the situation and make it even worse. Like the rudder on a boat, my attitude defines my destination.
The best I can do is to ask myself the question “How can I help?”.
I’m trying to look at every day as another chance to allow my struggles to develop my strength, because it’s only by going through them that I’ll get the wisdom of knowing I can handle it.
That doesn’t mean it’s going to be fun, just that it’s going to be worth it. (Happiness is a choice, after all!)
Because I’m going to make mistakes.
The only thing I can change is how I handle them.
Have a great weekend!!
