I am re-reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and I read something yesterday which fit somewhat into what I heard at seudah shelishit on shabbos regarding the churban ha'bais. Stephen Covey says that there are usually 3 categories of things that transpire in our lives: things within our control, things in others' control, and things that can't be controlled. We can get by in these different situations respectively by: changing our way of approaching circumstances, changing our way of influencing others, and smiling.
Today, my wife and I had to go somewhere that we didn't really want to go but we didn't really have a choice either. It's one of those circumstances that was just out of our control. Sometimes it's good to know that all you can do is suffer through it and smile.
