"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us" - Gandalf to Frodo in LOTR FOTR.
The temptations are to be 'God' of our own life and try to decide for ourselves of what will happen next (while, ironically, having the right attitude about it, that is being prudent, is one thing we have to struggle with). If you are emo like me, in your imagination life will lead to failures and eternal sadness. But we are only human, and this, fortunately, is our limit. We cannot foresee what's next and just admit this, we are always wrong about the future, no matter how good or bad we expect it to be. I am thankful that this is our limit.
No, this is a gift.
