I may find myself caught up in wondering why something happened while asking myself, "What did I do wrong?" or "Why did this happen to me?"
If the situation is something I can change, I can plan how to change it. I can look at my options or ask someone else's opinion and ultimately decide what to do. If the situation is one in which I have no control, I might never get to know why it happened. I might have to understand that it just did. When I'm wondering why, sometimes the hardest answer to accept is that there isn't one. I won't always understand or be given the reasons for certain situations.
I will do my best to accept that sometimes things just are the way they are.

Oh geez I cant even begin to express how much this applies....
Dashed hopes and disappointment, chasing rainbows and instead finding hot, lonely tears and that terrible heartache like someone socked you in the chest but worse.
Even for the roughest, toughest guys it's some of the sweetest things things that are the hardest to let go.
I can apply that to me for sure. Before I quit drinking I was convinced that the world even that god was against me nothing was going right I met with brick walls and obstacles everywhere. It just seemed that in every aspect of life I would take one step forward and two steps back. I'm seeing now that the fog has lifted that I caused alot of those problems with alcohol and the rest I can let go of now.
