Coincidence

This is going to sound too clichéd but it is said that things happen for a reason when you are least expecting it. Good or bad, either way, it influences and changes your life for the better. Good reason inspires you to look headfirst for better days and bad reason helps you to appreciate and cram from your blunders. You make your life intricate for no reason at all. This life is a very simple game to play, as long as you play along with it.

Overthinking and materialism ruins this exciting game and that makes you kind of hate your life. Now Hey! Everybody is going through tough times. Nobody is perfect, right? What you need to realize is that if you are going through bad times, there are better days waiting for you. This is just a phase of your life, like any level in a game you it find hard to get through, but eventually you do find a way out. All you have to do is sit back, and take note of what went wrong and learn from it. If it was your fault, say sorry. There is no harm in letting go of your ego for once and asking for forgiveness. Because after all, your ego is hurting you around. And trust me, once you ask for forgiveness, you are going to feel much better about yourself. Do not weigh yourself down in the name of ego and unhappiness, only you can help yourself. And if it wasn’t your fault, forgive the person. It is said that the one who forgives first is the strongest. Forgiving someone is a big deal, not an easy task let me tell you. But once you forgive someone, you forgive yourself. And this is how it all ends. This is how you emerge out as a strong person. This is how you grow. This is how you start to take life less seriously.

The reason I started this post by mentioning that everything happens for a reason is because everything that happens in our lives is mere coincidence. I do not believe in faith, but I do believe in coincidences. You meet a person coincidentally. Remember that time you met someone at a coffee shop? What if you hadn’t been there at that particular time? What if you had missed your train and reached there tad bit late? Would that person still be a part of your life then? You happened to be there at that particular time and met a particular person who may or may not mean the world to you, that was the biggest coincidence of your life. That is the good reason why you still think your life is worth living.
