Everything Happens For A Reason

I totally believe in this...whoever we meet happens for a reason. Why is that so we would wonder. Why do people walk into our lives and bringing certain experiences to us? Hard to understand but I believe it is for a reason. We can learn from those experiences or ignore them and continue denying.

Looking back, although I believe there are reasons, I still have denials.

  • I wish I did not meet this person
  • I wish I had not known this person
  • I wish I had ignored that particular request
  • I wish I had taken it easy and treat it lightly
  • I wish circumstances did not change
  • I wish the person had been more assertive and open to discussion
  • I wish I had walked away earlier
  • I wish issues are easier to deal with
  • I wish I have more patience in addition to what I have already

The list goes on....

Whatever it is, I have to accept and let go. This is the hardest part and I should persevere. Here comes the Serenity Prayer (useful for everyone regardless of religion).

"I pray that God will grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference."
