This is the way I view the world. No matter what is happening, I know that ultimately everything will work out, and life goes on. I feel this keeps my sanity with raising kids, especially little kids, who run towards danger all the time. I cannot afford to worry in advance and drive myself crazy, yes sometimes I raise my voice, but overall I just act but try not to react.It is amazing that some of the most religious people of any faith still have a lot of fear. I feel blessed to really be in touch with the fact that there is good in the world, and I will focus on it, pray for it, be in tune to it, and surround myself with it. If something should happen that is out of my control, I will deal with it. I choose to live in a happy, blessed, and positive mindset. Life is not easy, and honestly the reason we were put on this earth is to go through the challenges and grow.
There is no such thing as no pain or avoiding pain, without it we really do not know pleasure, change, and transformation.
Everybody is always dealing with something, and I read the most powerful article about a man who is not religious, when it was time to act to help in the Boston marathon, he just did it because it was what he had to do.

At the end of the article it quotes Rabbi Shai Held:
"You want to serve God? Run towards the very people and places you most want to run away from," Held wrote. "You want to be religious? Learn to be present for other people when they are in pain. All the rest is commentary."
