If I had to create a bumper sticker that modeled my philosophy for life, it would be "Everything Happens for a Reason." As menial and non-profound as this may sound, if you look deeper into what the message is saying, you may find an inner peace that is usually hidden from everyday life. In order to fully understand this life that has been presented to you, one must first delve into the meaning of life and comprehend what it is that we, as humans, are here to do.
Everyone who has lived has experienced tragedy in one way or another, and it always presents itself when we least expect it. In my life, incidents such as this have come more than I would have hoped, and now that I have time to reflect upon these incidents, I cannot help but think that something or someone has predetermined all of this. Once I understood that, I realized that every little thing in our lives has a plan, and nothing is random. A favorite quote of mine coheres well to this philosophy: "Nothing ever truly dies. The universe wastes nothing. Everything is simply transformed."
Even if religion is not one of your strong points (and yes I sometimes have doubts as well), there is truth behind the fact that in the end of your existence here on the earth, it will not matter what happened in your life, only how you lived it. Life will always have sadness or disappointments, but the good feelings will far outway the bad, as they have with me, if one were to live by this philosophy.

I really agree with you everything does happen for a reason, and we'r all here to make it happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree, nothing happens randomly theres a reason for everything. Either those reasons are put there for us to learn from them or something else.
ReplyDeleteEverything does happen for a reason, but usually you never want it to and not all the time is it a positive thing that is happening. I really don't like when the bad things happen but you can't do anything but work through them. You just have to get up and go when something knocks you down.
ReplyDeleteEverything does, definitely happen for a reason, whether we like it or not. nobody likes the bad things that happen but they help to make you a better person in the end, and you learn how to deal with them better and better as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteI'm still debating my opinion on this. I dont believe that thigns happen for a reason but that your past actions affect your future choices.
ReplyDeleteThat is humble stance you have there. In my feeling there is a destiny for everyone but it is the in between that is undetermined and up to that person entirely; which then if you think of it could lead the former set destiny to change to the better or worse. But who knows, I just live my life to the best. As you said... so I might have just summed stuff up. Meh.
ReplyDeleteIts perhaps unfortunate that too many situations in our lives are in fact uncontrollable. Everything happens for better or for worse. I agree it matters not what happened in life but how you have chosen to live it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, yet also believe that we have to pave our own way through life. I'm having trouble wording what I'm trying to say...it's a puzzling concept to think about. But I do beleive in your philosophy. Believing that everything is happening for a reason also forces us to think positively.
ReplyDeleteI like your post Bryce and it has me interested, who did you quote in the middle of it? I believe that everything happens for a reason as well. Some may challenge this thought and ask why some bad things happen to good people. I think that those things are not necessarily intended to be made clear to us until we understand our higher power. I like that you have taken this idea and made it applicable to people from all walks of life.
ReplyDeleteI beyond doubt appreciate your articles and blogs
