The phrase “life’s what you make it” is pretty much the most annoying yet simultaneously true cliché. It’s annoying because when you aren’t happy with your life, it can seem like the most difficult thing to find a way to change it. And sometimes, there just isn’t a quick way to do it.
But it’s also exactly right. Even when you have what feels like every obstacle in the world stacked against you, they aren’t what controls your life: you are. Sometimes it’s not about making everything right at once, and sometimes it’s not about getting rid of the biggest obstacle in your path first.
