I Wish I Knew



I wish I had the answers to why we end up in the ditch, why people are dishonest, or why bad things happen to good people.  I just don’t.  Two word sum things up: “Shit Happens!” 

Now, from those two words, we get to determine how we respond.  We can choose to understand there are bad situations/people in life, understand not everyone has the same morals and ideals that we do, or we can accept that Shit Happens!

It is so easy, I know as I have done it, to fall into the victim mentality of feeling shit on or wronged by others.  The fact is that no one or no event shits on me, and no one wrongs me. I have the power over the situation and I allow it to happen. It is really that simple folks!

I so wish I had the answers, as to why things happen the way they do, but I don’t.  All I do know is that I have the power to determine how I respond.  I know for certain that bad things will happen in my life. I know that people will be dishonest, and I know there will be so many things that happen that are beyond my control.  I also know that it is 100% within my power, as to how I react.  I wish I knew why, but I am for certain I know I am in charge of how to react.
