“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
NOTE: Wherever we are, that’s where we are. We may not like our circumstances or the people in our sphere. We have a choice. We can become a bitter, backstabbing person, whose only desire is to contribute to the darkness. Or, we can choose to bring light to the darkness. When we bring a light to the darkness we have the opportunity to become the master of our circumstances. Each moment becomes a defining destiny moment demanding our best. If we continually choose to be a light in the darkness, we’ll have made a great difference with our life.
