Letting things happen

We learned that painful and disappointing things happen, often for a reason and for a higher purpose. Sometimes these things work out for good. It’s not important to spend a lot of time and energy figuring out the purpose and the plan for each detail of your life.

It happens that sometimes the car doesn’t start. The dishwasher breaks. We catch a cold. We have a bad day. It helps to accept these irritating annoyances, but we don’t have to understand everything and to try to figure out where it fits into the broad scheme of things. It is important to tend to your responsibilities and to not take everything personally.

Everything happens for a reason. I was going down the street many weeks ago and noticed the building of a luxurious hotel. It looked just like a palace with seventeen stories and two outdoor swimming pools. I wasn’t satisfied with my current job, and I searched the new place on the internet. It just happened that the company was in the process of hiring all personnel for the grand opening. I applied, on multiple jobs, and then I waited. Weeks. Months. I forgot about my applications. And one day, I got the call, I had the interview and got the job offer in the palace.

All I needed was patience. I told myself that if it were meant to be, it would happen. And it did.

We don’t have to query every occurrence to see how it fits into our plan because the plan will reveal itself to us. The lesson here is to learn to solve our problems without always knowing their significance. The lesson is to trust ourselves to live and experience life.

Love,

Carmen Monica
