Life happens. We often use this phrase to reference how there are things in life that are out of our control, or perhaps as an explanation of why we can’t get things done we would like to. The reality is there are always things beckoning our time and attention. Without a very intentional thought process the outside world can begin to demand more and more. As our days pass, we can begin to feel like spectators or someone who is dragged along more than an active participant in our lives.
