I believe, first, that everything happens for a reason - you learn constantly from your choices and you grow, and second, if something is meant to be, it will be, eventually.
Whatever choice we make, is okay. What ever feels right at the moment, do it.
And besides, how will you know if it's the right decision or not, if you never make it?
As I once said, this life, here, is just one big test. We get to deal with things - the happy and the bad things, and we are constantly being watched.
The most important thing is how we take control of our feelings regarding the bad and happy things and choices we make.
In the end, life here is temporary. We will die eventually but the question is when. Nobody knows when is his time to go, when is he finished the test or when is he finished the thing he was created for.
Of course I believe in God, the creator of all the things. A Father that sees us all the time and wants the best for us.
It says in Jeremiah 29:11 - for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
We must trust all our choices, follow our hearts and try to prevent the over thinking. For whatever happens, that we may not understand - thinking it was the best, God has better plan and better things for us if we only trust and wait.
It is okay if He sometimes puts us in hard situations and watch us take control and moving on.
He always has a reason for the things He puts us through. But we are not Him, and our ways are not his ways. He has plans for us and we were born for a reason.
It says in Proverbs 3:5 - trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understandigs.
So it's ok if sometimes you don't find the reason right away, because you will later. (stating this out of experience).
Sometimes the reason for the thing that happened is not only for us but for others as well, an exapmle or a lesson to some other poeple around us.
The key is, always believe it's okay. No matter what happens, say it's ok. Be strong, deal with it, remember that it is temporary and you are in a test.
Think positive and wait for the good things that will come to you.
Speaking of which, here's a quote by Marilyn Monroe:
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let them 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."
Exactly.
Everything happens for a reason.
It is something I believed in forever. And believing that, makes life easier.
