“Everything happens for a reason” I say this so much in my life that I actually think it’s starting to annoy people :) but I won’t stop because it’s so true! and the truth is that since I have started to try and find the good in every situation it has completely changed me as a person. It’s made me so much happier day to day. I no longer have a why me mind set. That outlook is just not helpful to us in any way.
Instead I try and think about why something seemingly bad is happening at that moment. What positives could come from this. If I can’t think of anything, I just trust that I will know one day, and I will look back at that time and say, “I'm so glad that happened”. We often can’t change what happens in our life but we can change the way we react.
I’m sure nearly everyone has had an experience where something seemingly bad happens to them but then they look back weeks, months or even years later and say “thank god that happened” that’s because even though something may seem bad in the moment it’s probably happened to push you in the right direction, so something good can happen because of it.
Sometimes we think we know what is best for us but that’s not always the case. Trust that everything happens for a reason and try to see the good in every situation, it will change your life.
