Take Life Into Your Hands
When people tell you to grow up and take life into your own hands what they really want to say is “Grow up, stop behaving like a little wuss and make a living out of what you were given” but often when you hear that you don’t want to be told that you need to grow up and put up with life. You cannot be a kid forever, it’s a fact of life. So go ahead and make a good life out of what you are given.
Life might feel like a game at times but one thing is true about this passage, and that is that when we decide to play the game of life and not allow life to take us into whatever rollercoaster it wants to take us we gain some control over our destiny. So what is better, to have no control and live life as it comes or to try to be present in life and waltz with it to my own rhythm.
