“Everything happens for a reason” is not a myth.
From personal experience, in the long term, it always turns out to be positive.
Some view it as a comforting notion, while others dismiss it as mere wishful thinking. However, delving deeper into this philosophy reveals that it holds profound wisdom about the interconnectedness of our experiences.
Consider 9/11. I am not naming, but many people were late for the office, or did not/could not go to the office due to various reasons (internet is full of such stories).
For a moment, they thought that either they’ll be fired for being late, or getting late is bad for their careers, bla bla bla!
But in the bigger picture, what had happened, eventually led them to believe that everything happens for good (I’m not saying that 9/11 happened for good).
Due to our nature of instant gratification and lack of patience to witness the bigger picture, we get frustrated for not getting the thing we wanted to happen.
We need to understand that, life is a tapestry woven with threads of experiences, both joyous and challenging. Viewing these experiences as isolated incidents might cause us to miss the underlying connections that shape our personal narratives. Believing that everything happens for a reason invites us to see beyond the surface and recognize the intricate patterns that bind our lives together.
Even in the most difficult moments, there are lessons to be learned. Embracing the belief that events have a purpose encourages us to search for these lessons. Adversities can become catalysts for growth, resilience, and self-discovery. By seeking meaning in every experience, we empower ourselves to transform hardships into stepping stones toward a more fulfilling life.
We need to consider the “Shift of Perspective” theory also. Instead of dwelling on the “why me” mentality, it prompts us to ask “what can I learn from this?” This shift opens the door to a mindset of empowerment, allowing us to reclaim control over our reactions and decisions.
I am not asking you to ignore pain or struggle in the process. Accepting that life’s experiences are interconnected and purposeful can propel us toward personal growth and self-awareness. This philosophy fosters an attitude of gratitude for both the ups and downs, as each contributes to our unique journey.
