Three things

Life is complicated,
we can’t see the future,
and we certainly can’t see
the alternate realities we would be living
if we hadn’t made this or that faulty choice.
There’s only:
    1. What we choose;
    2. What we actually get;
    3. How we handle it.
Save your strength for number 3,
where the real work of contentment gets done.
