Stuff happens! Sometimes it’s good stuff. Sometimes it’s bad stuff. And, sometimes it falls somewhere in between. Most times there is little we can do to control it. I’ve seen street performers and wondered why they didn’t make the big time and someone who’s not as talented is splashed all over cable. Stuff happens. Although we may not be able to control a lot of the stuff that happens to us, there is stuff we can control. We can control our attitude toward stuff that happens. We can control how we respond to other people. The one thing we have greatest influence over is our self. When we take greater control over ourselves and orient toward the common good we discover that more good stuff tends to happen.
