answer:Life is really random and we cannot escape this reality though many choose to not acknowledge this fact. $hit happens and that is not just a cliché and again is reality. To truly succeed in life you have to own that reality and have control over your ability to navigate the choppy waters of this randomness of those things you truly do not have control over. Once you acknowledge that you cannot control these random events that bring bad into your life and at the same time some really cool moments….you become free to live and accept the true meaning of life in all it’s glory and goriness. Horrible events are teachable moments….how you might ask? These events teach us what we are capable of dealing with. Just set goals and develop a thick enough skin so you do not shoulder the burdens of spite that are bountiful in life and take time to stop and smell the roses. This is why I love to garden and plant flowers.
