Three Bucket Lists

There is a wonderful article in the June 2012 issue of the Orthodox Observer by Bill Marianes: There are three groups of "things" (I'd add at any given time): Things we control, things we influence, and things we can't do anything about. I think we can control and influence more than we think, but getting in to the mindset that our being or thoughts can control everything may lead to lots of figuring out, taking too many courses, making ourselves wrong, and wondering what others have that we don't. Of course, you don't want to go the opposite route of thinking it's being a victim or "luck". It's all about balance.
