At times we have to remind ourselves that we are not always in control of our own life's destiny. However, putting forth the extra effort into the things we desire or want can sometimes reward us. On the other side of the coin: Just because we put forth the effort into something does not necessarily guarantee us anything. We are just vessels in life. We may prepare and organize our chartered course but there will always be certain elements that cause our direction to change. The current may flow against us, our bows may break, a storm may even delay our departure or we may just end up at a different destination then we planned. When one door opens…another closes. Where there is an ending, there is a beginning. What is meant to be is meant to be.. We just have to just keep on opening doors and accept that life is forever changing and to make the best of things before us at this time. Remember that taking a risk is a part of life and not taking one is considered failure, no matter what the outcome and if something good comes your way, embrace it.
