I may not be where I need to be in life, but at least I'm not where I used to be...

It's easy to fall into playing head games on yourself.

You can as my folks used to say "wish your life away". Try to enjoy the moment and your accomplishments.

There is no good fortune or bad fortune. Only good and bad choices. God isn't blessing you or damning you. You only do that to yourself.

Once you realize that you control your destiny, not some deity, or society, or "the system", or "the man" then you are free.

There is no right or wrong choice. We just do the best we can in our circumstances and learn from the outcome.
