We all have a road to travel in our quest to find the meaning of life. What we don't realize is that 100,000 people have already traveled that road ahead of us, virtually the same road we are on. The same trials, the same problems, and the same bank of choices we must make. There may be differences in timeline but the same life choices apply to every age.
The outcomes of all those travellers vary because of the choices they made; as so in how we view the problems before us and how we deal with those happenings in our lives. Be they good or bad, each choice we make redirects our life to a more positive or negative outcome.
