“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf... 'But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'” When life throws unexpected storms your way, remember that while you can't choose the weather, you *can* choose your sails. How are you navigating your present challenges?
About this quote
Life, much like the journey of Frodo Baggins, often presents us with challenges we never wished for. We might yearn for simpler times, for days free from hardship and uncertainty. The weight of circumstances can feel overwhelming, leading us to question why *we* must endure such trials. This sentiment, expressed by Frodo, is a deeply human one, a universal echo of our desire for peace and control in a world that frequently defies both.
