Life Happens

Do you think everything happens for a reason? This is a question that I’ve asked myself many times over. The answers are hard to come by.

Life happens and nothing ever stays the same no matter how much we want it to. Sometimes I wonder if what happened had to happen in order for me to find my way forward. At times, it seems so unfair and yet there is no going back to what it was before, the way life was before things got turned on its head.

Is there a rhyme or a reason for the way things happen? Is there an unseen force watching everything and decides that things are getting boring and we need to shake things up? Maybe.

Here’s what I think. Things happen because there are lessons to be learned. You are put to a test and everything about you takes a beating but it is how you react to that test and whether you stand back up to face another day says a lot about you as a person and the courage and strength you have. Along the way, you learn to withstand tragedy, loss, pain, breakups and so much more that goes to make up life as we know it. It is not easy, it never is, but those lessons have to be learned and that is it in a nutshell I think.

However, I do think that everything happens for a reason. What is the reason? I don’t know and you don’t know but a higher power knows and it is not for us to ask the reasons why.

That said, can we make those lessons less painful please?!!
