Life is what you make of it

I friend of mine posted the following quote on his facebook page the other day:

"Life is what you make of it."

I think that is 100% true.  There are many things that happen in life that you can't control.  What you can control, is how you react to them.  You can do whatever you want in life, you just need to make it happen.  I think it's extremely important to keep this inspirational saying in mind.  It is easy to get bogged down with and dwell on the bad things that happen that we have no control over.  If you want to change careers, do it.  If you want to travel to different places, do it.  Changing careers and traveling the world are somewhat larger goals, but this can pertain to much smaller things as well.  If you like sitting on the deck or patio or sun room or back yard and reading, then make time to do it.  If you like gardening but don't have the yard for it, get some small containers and start an herb or spice garden on the windowsill in the kitchen.  The point being, make time for the things that you enjoy and make you happy.

And that is your inspirational quote of the day.

The end.
