We usually can do very little to change our lot. We can only change our reaction to our lot. We cannot change our past, for example. I don't care how brilliant we are, our past stands in concrete. We cannot erase it. But we can learn today to see our past from God's perspective, and use the disadvantages of yesterday in our life- today and forever.
You and I constantly bump up against people submerged in self pity. They are hopelessly lost in the swamp of life. And all they can tell you is how wrong this was, or how unfair she was, or how someone's promise broken, or how that man walked away and left me and the kids, or that guy broke up a partnership and "took me to the cleaners" and on, and on, and on.
I suggest to you that there's nothing better than that you look for an advantage and then dwell on it. Make your life's message. Who knows what imfact it will have?
