Box of Chocolates

 “My mama always said ‘life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’”
Forrest Gump

Tom Hanks playing the character of Forrest Gump made this line one of the most memorable in it modern cinematic history.
Are our lives that unpredictable? Was this from a time before chocolate makers included a menu to help you distinguish (and if so why do we always mistake the toffee or hard centred one for a soft centre, or vice versa!!??)
If life is really like a box of chocolates, why not choose the box which you know you’re going to like? Why leave it entirely to chance?
This weekend, if your life were like a box of chocolates, why not choose to pick your favourite box where every option you have is better than the one before, where every option on the menu is something you LOVE doing, ENJOY living, TASTES great and isn’t subject to pure chance. Life doesn’t have to be an unknown like Forrest’s analogy, choose to go for the chocolates you like and know you’ll enjoy – choose to go places you love, be with people who support you positively, and do the things that will enhance your life and make you smile. That box of chocolates you choose is up to you.
