As we reflect on the choices we make in life I am reminded of Victor Frankl a holocaust survivor of the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz "which led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living"
It is not so much in what we GET in this life, but how we process it. How we FEEL about the things that happen and what we CHOOSE to DO about whatever the situation might bring. As an inmate in those horrific circumstances Frankl chose to share his meager diet, assist those in worse shape than he was and to make the most of what he had. He choose life!
"Saying yes to life in spite of everything!" his first book after the holocaust reflects my feelings on dealing with the adversity that comes to us in this life.
We may not always get what we want, but if we CHOOSE to do GOOD with this LIFE by being good to others our reflections will be from a place of peace in a life well lived.
