Life

Life for most of us, should be pretty good. We have all heard what life is supposed to offer: endless opportunities, the fulfillment of our dreams, and a chance to live each day in a way that brings happiness and success. Most of us want and need at least a successful job or career, a good family life, and reasonable financial security. We expect that from life and hope to get that out of life. We know deep inside that we deserve our fair share and we have every right to attain it.

Have you ever wondered, then, why things don't work out the way they should? Why do we not get from life many of the things we would like to have and know we should? Why do some people seem to be "lucky," while the great majority of the rest of us seem not to be?

Why are some people, day to day, happier, more productive, more fulfilled than others? What makes the difference? Is is some kind of fate, which in some mysterious way charts our destiny and leaves little of the steering of our course through life up to us?

Is the control of our lives in our hands or isn't it? And if we can, or should control our lives, what goes wrong? What holds us back? If we truly would like to do better, be the way we really would like to be, and be happier and more successful every day in every area of living, what is it that stands in our way of being the best person we can be?

Ponder a little or write your ideas.
