It is pure fantasy to believe that anyone has total control over every circumstance in life.There are daily issues,some small and others quite significant,that occur without our ability to immediately control them and the implications.However ,even in the most difficult set of circumstances the human spirit always has a choice of how it responds to any challenge or issue. I have personally come to the realization in my own life that total control is an illusion but response is always available.In the lives of so many I have seen people rise above the most painful situations by choosing to control not the circumstances but how they will respond.At times the responses have been heroic and it reminded me that we are all capable of more than we can imagine.Some individuals today are living with issues beyond their control but I pray they sense their ever present ability to choose their own responses.
