In mathematical equations, there are some values that never change (constants) and some values that can change given the particular circumstances (variables). These things combined will give us a unique outcome. Since the constants do not ever change, the only thing that will allow us to modify the unique outcome to our ability to changing the variables.
We can see this mirrored in our daily experiences. There are aspects in our lives that are always constant, we have to breathe, we have to eat, we have to suffer, etc. Although these things are always going to be there, we are not locked into a specific outcome. With these examples there are variables that are in our control. We can choose to go out into the woods to breathe fresh air, we can eat things that are better for us and eat less than we think we may want. We can choose to be a victim of our suffering or show greater awareness of our situation and learn to grow from it.
We have many choices everyday as we go through this journey we call life. There are definitely things that are beyond our control and we need to accept those things, but there are always variables that we can choose between that will help us live a fuller more enjoyable life.
