Variables

The variables that have to line up for your life to happen everyday are astronomical. You have zero control of these variables. The only thing you can control is your reaction to receiving or not receiving what you feel life owes you.

You getting a raise at work means that someone else didn't. You not getting a raise at work means that someone else did. 

You waiting for a train to pass is making you late for work. You leaving earlier for work allows you to not have to wait for the train and you are early for work.

Of course there are far more complicated scenarios than these, but you get the picture. How you choose to cope in any situation is what is most important. 

We are not machine's and therefore we will feel all the positive and negative emotions that come with our decisions. You see, nothing can happen in your life without your decision to make or not make it happen.. You would have had to make a decision to be in any situation you find yourself. Those decisions tipped a domino of variables to bring about an outcome. (The only exception to this rule is as a child when you could not make your own decisions). 

It could take years, it could take days, it could take seconds, but everything that transpires in your life is because you wanted it to be that way...good and bad. 

Your thoughts and actions are powerful forces, use them wisely. <3
