Who can say for sure how much or if any thing in our lives is predestined. Sometimes when I am feeling drained by challenges, I wonder what did I ever do to deserve this? Is the bad karma because we were the worst people in a prior life? I don’t know. I think I don’t really believe in that.

Or is it that we want to feel like we are in control of our lives. I can say from my experience that we are not in control of everything. I have had choices and opportunities and thought I was making the best choices at various times of my life.

I also know that things can happen to us that we did not expect or choose and the choice we have then is how we move forward.
