Some wise individual once said, "Life is about 10% of what happens to you, and 90% what you do about it." It's a timeless adage that cuts straight to the heart of daily living. In any given moment, anything can happen. Unexpected things crop up all the time, often in the least convenient moments, and things very seldom work out exactly as we have planned. But, they always work out, one way or another.
This is a comforting perspective, isn't it? There are so many things that are beyond our control, so many things that we cannot do much about, that it really doesn't do us much good to worry about them, right? There is a certain element of acceptance that is a prerequisite for peace of mind. Life in this moment cannot be any way other than the way that it is. Right here, right now, it is what it is.
Grounding in gratitude, reflecting on current reality, we can then chart a path forward. Everything is always in motion. Change is inevitable. We can resist it, we can embrace it, or we can even accelerate it. Ultimately, we can chose to use change. We can use change to our own personal advantage, and we should, and we can choose to use change in a way that benefits our families, friends, communities, counties, etc.
By extending this concept to its natural endpoint, we find the whole of humanity choosing to use change for the good of all. However plausible this may seem, such a stretch quickly becomes detached from reality. The premise is sound, the conclusion is not. It is inconceivable to coordinate the actions of 8 billion distinctly different individuals. Not everyone will agree to play along. It's just that simple.
That is why global agendas are ultimately rooted in control.
