If life is a journey, why can't I find directions on my GPS? Even the most updated units do not have a map, that clearly leads you to your destination in life. They have everything else marked on it..hospitals, places to eat, ATM machines, schools, ped crossings, and our new one even tells you constantly what the speed limit is...even if you are only 1k over the limit!
There are no clear directions on where each and everyone of us should be going. At birth we are not given a handbook that tells all of lifes little secrets, or what path to take. Nor are our parents equipped with a handbook on how to raise a child into a successful adult. There is nothing clearly defined when we are growing up on how to handle our disappointments or failures, or even our achievements. What we do have is our environment, parents included, who are a reflection of their own upbringing, that shape and mold us into what we become as adults. How we perceive the world is determined by what life has taught us in our growing years.
Make no mistake, it is still our choice on how we react to each and every thing that comes our way. The choice is always ours, and ours alone on how we handle situations. Sure, you can ask for advice, listen and use it, or discard it, but what remains is our own free will to choose. God created us that way, to have our own free will to choose, whether the decisions are wrong or right is in our court.
Anyway, I think that this is probably enough waffle for today. It is not even what I was going to say. It took so long to come up with a name, that I forgot my original text. I guess this is something to build on.....
