Does Your Path Have Heart?
I’m a believer that everything happens for a reason. But not in the way most people tend to use the phrase.
Traditionally, I find optimistic people say “everything happens for a reason” when they’re trying to console a friend after a painful event. Or to convince themselves that a poor decision or consequence is the result of God (or the universe) testing them.
Will their faith or resolve carry them through the event to find the silver lining?
But I like to think of it under a different perspective. I believe each moment in our lives is not the result of divine intervention, rather, it is an opportunity to learn something new. To shift our perspective. To challenge us to see things in a new light.
The “reason” for everything is to raise our awareness enough to perceive a more enlightened reality.
