Life is like a river. You can build a boat out of driftwood, or just doggy-paddle around; fight the current or dive straight ahead. Ultimately you're going to end up where the river wants to take you, and there's no way to know where that is. The only thing you can control is what you do in the river, and whether you take the ride as a terrifying, inescapable path to the unknown, or a fun float on a sunny day. Your life is only the time spent in the river, so you don't have to worry about the destination. Everybody has their own way of passing the time. The only good advice I can give you, is to pass it in the way that you want to. Anything else is a waste of a good river.

....and if you can't figure out what to do in the river, that's fine too. Doesn't make a difference to the river!
