Be Thankful

There are many things that happen in this lifetime. From the time we have our first breath until our last, there is a constant chain of events that occurs which we have little control of. 

At times, we think we do. At times we think if we do, say, or act a certain way that we can control the outcome of the given situation. 

At other times, we feel like we have no control.  We think that no matter what we do, say, or how we act that we arent going to be able to determine the outcome.

In most cases, that's true. However, it's not because of what we might think in the moment.  Its because the outcomes are predetermined.  The chain of events in our lives occur in the order they do for a reason. 

We dont see this at the moment we are going through it but we do afterwards in reflection. 

What we can control is making sure we do our part no matter what is happening.  To give our best effort all the time.

We'll either thrive or learn from the experience so we can thrive later.

Be thankful for the gift of life. Be thankful for our opportunities and remember whether positive or negative, we cant control the outcome but we can control our actions
