Topic: Living With What We Cannot Change

Just because there is something in life we cannot change (whether temporary or permanent), doesn't mean we have to live in darkness. Historically, an alcoholic cannot change into a non-alcoholic. A person may have a life circumstance like a disability that will never change. What are we to do in these kinds of circumstances? Do we ignore the circumstance and pretend the circumstance we cannot change is not there. Are we to take charge of the circumstance we cannot change? If we are to take charge of the circumstance we cannot change, what does this mean? If I am an alcoholic, I cannot take charge of the alcoholism and make the alcoholism disappear. If I have a permanent disability, I cannot make the disability disappear. How do I take charge of what cannot be changed? The answer is not worrying about taking charge of what you cannot change. The answer is taking charge of 110% of what you can change. The answer is to find those parts of your life, and there are many, that can be lived out in spite of your many burdens and obstacles you cannot change.
