When being offered a chocolate who looks at the ‘chocolate cheat sheet’ prior to making their selection?

Question: When being offered a chocolate who looks at the ‘chocolate cheat sheet’ prior to making their selection?

Life is like a box of chocolates, you just never know what you’re going to get!

This quote was made famous through the popular movie ‘Forest Gump’ a simple man who had a practical view on life. But have you ever stopped to think of how profound this statement is.

Sitting down with a box of chocolates can be equated to taking a trip to heaven as you bite into a sweet and divine creamy caramel or it could be a trip to hell resulting as you guzzle down a glass of water to get rid of the sickly taste of Turkish delight in your mouth!!!!

Our life experiences are the same….some days our life feels so sweet that we want it to never end and then there are the dark days where you just wish it would.

However the difference between a box of chocolates and our life is the box of chocolates comes with a cheat sheet and you can choose your chocolate experience.

In life we very rarely have this kind of control over where we are going and the impact this experience is going to have on our life.
