Consider this scenario: You are watching the Winter Olympics, and youre jealous that you arent representing Team USA. You are not the master of your fate, nor the captain of your soul. In fact, everything in your life is out of control, and you feel helpless to help yourself.
I consider myself to be more spiritual than religious, and when disaster or difficult times come calling, I turn to positive thoughts and prayers, because I believe we all have the power to make a difference.
