Let It Be---words of wisdom....let it be

There are certain difficulties we all face....our "monsters"...so to speak. We all have them. Some are able to corral the monster, while others let the monster corral them. There is a fine line between the two, and I always remember the very-cliched line from STEEL MAGNOLIAS----"that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger."

1. CONTROL...very elusive and a struggle to maintain

2. POSITIVE ATTITUDE...some have it, some don't (does it really make a difference?)

3. SOLID SENSE OF SELF....Buddha, Ghandi, and Mother Teresa had it

Those are the biggies. We are told that we are products of our experiences. But two very different beings could have the same experiences and be on opposite poles. Our genetic make-up (DNA code) also makes us who we are. This has always fascinated me, and granted, no two individuals are alike.

Do we just tell ourselves that we will remain in control, muster up a positive attitude, and have a good working knowledge of who we really are and it is done?
We know that is not true.

These are age-old mysteries. The passages of life, along with the DNA double helix
leave our carbon print for eternity. What we are is passed down to future generations and quite possibly changes the DNA code in tiny ways.

For me, the complexities of human nature, the evolutionary changes in our environment are the proof of a greater being and a greater plan. With this information, I am not afraid of the ultimate end of time. Rather, there will always be a part of us throughout eternity. Let it be.
