In today's episode of the Tuesday People Podcast, Mitch Albom shares one final lesson from his new book, "The Stranger in the Lifeboat." Often, when things don't go our way, we blame God - or our higher power - for not coming through for us and answering our prayers. As Mitch discusses in the book, "God starts things .Man stops them." Don't blame the universe for things it's not responsible for. Instead, take a look at ourselves and see if that isn't the cause, perhaps, of some of your unhappiness.
