The Best

When we are young, many of us visualize how our life will turn out—usually assuming the things that are important will fall into place for the best outcome. Sometimes that does happen. But far more often, people I’ve known have not had the results they anticipated. It was not necessarily because they didn’t try to affect the outcome, but usually because of all the unexpected happenings beyond their control. When life presented them with unforeseen, unwanted, or painful events, some grew old with resentment. Others continued life with thankfulness for the small joys, and anticipated something good as each new day began. Can you guess which of them ended up living the best life?
