Life is what you make of it

Some people think that life is something that a "Higher Power" controls but i think that life is guided by that higher power and how we deal with is is up to us. I have a very close friend (more of an older Brother) that is in the hospital with major head trauma right now. He took what god gave him, which was an argument with his girlfriend, and threw a shit fit. He sped off down our street on his quad, skidded out, hit a curb then flew in to a tree. For all of you that will ask this famous question, NO he wasn't wearing a helmet. It was strapped to the back of the quad. Now he's in acoma at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for a little over a week and I have been with him every day thus far. Other than the head injury he suffered a completely blown out knee and minor cuts and scrapes. I dont know why he did that and from what the nurses say he most likely wont remember. But this is what he has made of his life. I hope that with this experiance everyone around him will make better decisions in life and come out a little bit better than they did going in. "Everything happens for a reason" they say. What that reason is i dont know right now but it always does work itself out in the end. What will you make of your life?
