Do you truly believe in your power to create things or do you just go with the flow and believe that your life is on a written path that you have no control over?
Me personally, I believe I have control over my life. I may not have control over others actions which, in some cases, can cause a ripple in my life for a short time, but I do have control over how I handle the ripple and how it will effect me long term. If I will allow it to change my life entirely or will I respond with the proper emotion for a short time and then move on with the Joy that I have created and set up for myself.
We all go through things in life. the difference is how you handle it or if you allow it to handle you.
