Circumstance

Many things in life are out of our control. This is a lesson that is easy to catch in nature. Storms come out of nowhere, bears attack, avalanches occur, etc.

It is easy to see that circumstance is a changing variable in our lives.

Yet, in any harmonious entity, there cannot only be a changing variable, there must also be an unchanging variable.

What is the unchanging variable? It is our attitude.

When we think of every circumstance as an opportunity to offer gratitude, to grow our spirit, and to love others - this is when our life can become vibrant and purposeful.
