Everything Happens For A Reason

We have been raised in a society that honors "tragedy" and human suffering, however no situation can be a tragedy unless we label it as that.

When I look back on some of the worst events in my life, I can honestly say that with 100% certainty those events were in my life to make me stronger or to encourage me to go a different route. We don't have to claim our failures any more than we do our successes. It's not personal. Its just feedback.

So you lost your job, your house, your spouse, however instead of trying to go back and change the un-changable, what did you gain???? The song "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts is a perfect example of what I am trying to convey here....sometimes we have to go through a lot of shit before we can have exactly what we want (otherwise we may not appreciate it).

Daily Challenge: I encourage us all to welcome chaos with open arms, as it is nothing more than a vehicle to get us where we want to be in life.
