For A Reason Can it really be true that everything happens for a reason? Do you guys believe that everything happens for a reason? There is significance in every event of our lives, from the most joyful and empowering to the inexplicable or seemingly unjust. After all, I personally do believe that things happen for a reason. It took me a long time to understand this, but I now see that even in the worst fuxed up disaster there are wonderful gifts, hidden opportunities, or life-enhancing lessons. And we couldn't have gotten them any other way. If someone as hardheaded as I am can come to understand this, anyone can. For example, I wanted to play futsal in the evening and it fall thorough at the very last minute, and i discover that everything I really want is to stay at home and relax my ass. Another instant example, I had a friend got himself into an accident. Got a broken leg and he had to spend months in bed. He is a workaholic and never give a fux about his girl friend and his love one. He thought that would be the end, particularly since it happened at a time when he had to make important decisions ( he's holding a high position in his company ). And then it suddenly hit him when I visited him one evening. He told me this was exactly what he needed. He needed a good rest. He needed a "half-time". And after he got out from the hospital, he went back to work and he is now happily married with kids. We very much want to believe that the things that happen to us have great meaning. It's the way we feel life should be. When you discover the true meaning of the events in your life, everything changes. You feel stronger because you sense that everything has meaning gives you great confidence. You feel wiser because you see how everything connects.You're more in touch with who you are because you know that you're living the life you were meant to lead. And you're happier because you're able to put your loss behind you and have a sense of a future filled with good things. We blame other people, and then we end up with the sense that the world is full of bad people. We blame ourselves, and then instead of feeling healthy, strong, and whole we see ourselves as sick, weak, and broken. And we blame life itself. What could be more demoralizing than feeling condemned to having bad things always happen to us and not being able to do anything about it? As for myself, I found someone special via online games and started a correspondence with her. It was maybe few months later that I finally found out that she was special. I felt instantly connected to her. I felt like I knew her all my life. She was definitely a God-sent angel. And we all know, in every relationship whether it is boy-girl relationship, family or friendship - shits do happen. And it happen for a reason. I had a bad year and I was back on that downward spiral to depression once again. Things in my personal life had been weighing down on me, and the stress was getting the best of me. And hence, my relationship with her went through a yo-yo time - lots of ups and down. I remember the time when I protected her from some bad ass moffo ( in game ) and I was surprise that she actually fought them back. I was overwhelmed with love and pride for her. I am at a lost on how to describe how this so call online relationship was, only to say that they were incredibly personal and very emotional. However my experience does not end there. I still have a lot of buried negativity that needed to be released. I have so much aggression inside of me, that it was begging to be released and I am intent of keeping going until I either passed out or the burden of my emotional stress is gone. I know it's still a long way to go and If i wanna make this work, I gotta work hard for it. And I strongly believe, it happens for a reason. All the arguments, all the good times and all the things that happened...it happens for a reason. Quoted from Piano Lady Nancy : Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create whom you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold you head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it. [5:46 AM] |
