What to do with the time given you

Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me.  I wish none of this had ever happened."

Gandolf: "So do all who live to see such times - but that is not for them to decide.  All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given you."
(The Fellowship of the Ring)

A great quote.  So often we gripe and complain - if only my situation was different.  We don't get to decide what comes our way - we get to decide how to respond to it.
