"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

The Reminder

They say everything happens for a reason. Can someone be in control of everything that happens in their life? Maybe certain things that happen in their life?

I think yes and no.

Each of us are capable of making decisions. Whether big or small, our answers to those decisions is what makes all the difference. Comments, questions, statements run daily and consistently in out lives. When big decisions arise, how do you know what questions to ask and if the questions you do ask, are they the right ones? Do you feel the right answer or go off of modern day research, study or statistics? Do you listen to your conscience? That gut feeling or first instinct?

I don't hold all the answers. I don't hold a good history of good decision making either. There are times where it may seem like the world is crashing down on me and I just want to give in and let it. The feeling as if my struggle is as hard as it gets.

No one is perfect.

There is one thing that clears the storm in my mind. What answers all my questions. What lightens my burdens.

The thought and the reminder of...

WHO WORE THE THORNS.
