Today, I got a reminder that life is, at least to some extent, what we make of it. Those who make poor choices and make themselves and others miserable are going to have a miserable life, regardless of how blessed their life was at the start. Conversely, those who strive to be righteous and promote the happiness of others are likely to live a fulfilling life, even if they have very little in the way of other blessings. Granted, people's life circumstances, can make certain actions and attitudes harder or easier to maintain, but still, our lives are about as good as we decide to believe they are and as we decide to be. The better we are and the more righteous we are, the better our lives will be.
If that's true, then I choose to try to be good and to try to believe that my life is good, too.
