If your a parent chances are that you’ve heard these words hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times. The problem with them is that they are true but utterly disempowering.
Life’s not fair.
From the very beginning of time there were quite literally an infinite number of possibilities that could have led to something other than you being born. The fact that you, and not some other possibility, was born is sheer good luck.
Accept that things don’t work out the way you want them, and move on. But remember that you can do something about making things you do fairer, juster and more caring. This is something you are in control of so, make the change where you can.
