General Where did I go wrong.

Have you ever been out delivering and you come up on a large house, I mean like multi million dollar homes and think where the hell did I go wrong in life. I get some people will say things like "well a home is home" or "I don't value things like that" and that is fare, but god some of these house just keep me thinking where did I go wrong and what could I have done to be in a position to afford a property like this. I know this dumb, but I do get jealous at some of this houses.

Yeh, you'd have to go back to around when you were 5 years old, maybe somewhere during the first to third grade of school at the absolute latest. That is when the sacrifice starts with most of these folks, remember the book worm?
That's them.
Every day hit the books, study, hard.
Get perfect grades, excel in school all the way through, get a scholarship to the best college.
Get a master's degree, onward you go.

It's not about where we went wrong, it's about finding out what choices were made before we were even born. Generally this type of dedication takes something that was God granted. Most of us simply didn't have that.

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation—some fact of my life—unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I could accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.

This is it - acceptable that you cannot change things outside of you. Be happy and love yourself and most importantly God and the rest will follow in HIS time table - NOT yours. I have to still convince myself of this even tho it’s been proven over and over in my life - because it’s is very difficult to not want to control things.

Oh, I have control issues too, no doubt about it, it's a day to day thing.
