If you have faith in God, Allah, Buddha, or the universal Oneness, you have likely realized that everything happens for a reason. Even if you can not understand it at that moment, it does.

Because, down the line, somewhere in the future, somewhere in the unknown, something else happens that is so wonderful, that it is only then that you realize it would have never happened had you not suffered that earlier tragedy in the first place.

Every choice you make, every outcome that happens from these choices, every person who comes into your life, and every person who leaves – all of these elements have a reason.

They make us who you are today. Believing in the philosophy that everything happens for a reason can both be good and bad.

When certain things do not go your way, you have regrets over them.

There is just a part of yourself that feel the loss, disappointment, or a sense that you could have controlled the outcome better.

No matter how much you try to control your life, there are things that you simply can not control.

It is difficult to believe that there is a reason behind losing something. At this point in your life, it is easy to blame something or someone instead.

But believing that everything happens for a reason helps ease the burden and pain. It allows you to heal. In believing that a loss is not meaningless, you give ourselves a chance to heal.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. – Marilyn Monroe

The universe is filled with infinite possibilities, simultaneously existing outside the realm of Human Awareness. A good deal of what unfolds in life is beyond the realm of Human intelligence.
