Does everything happen for a reason?
John08 asked:
Is there a purpose for everything that happens, even if I didn’t really do anything wrong to warrant what was done to me? No, I’m not trying to play the victim. Is it all just a set of circumstances that occured which were out of my control? No, I’m not a perfect person. However, I am a quality person who doesn’t do drugs, not an alcoholic, am educated, never try to steer people wrong, treat others how I would want to be treated, have goals and objectives, and take care of myself. No, I’m not complaining. I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me or sympathize for me. I lost my job (and two other people in my same position in that same workplace got fired within 4 weeks after I was let go), I’m about to lose my home, I’ve gotten 3 bull**** traffic tickets, my girlfriend left me for a lowlife pothead guy who works at the airport as a baggage handler, I was forced to take a lower paying job because I didn’t want to be unemployed. All of this happened within a 4 month timeframe.
However, I have been attending graduate school to earn an MBA, and have been doing really well. I also, have dreams and so forth. I guess I could say I wasn’t exactly happy where I’ve been at these past 4 months. Did all of this misfortune happen as an act of god, to direct me into a better path, or a presdestined life. Basically, my dreams are to be highly skilled/educated, own my own sucessful business, have a sweet loving wife, have children, a beautiful home, and have many quality people in my life. I just need a few perspectives on all of this. Did all of this happen for a reason, to reinvent myself? Because, honestly as odd as it sounds I didn’t really do anything to warrant all of what happened to me. Yes, most of the time things happen as a result of decisions and actions. Could this just be a big opportunity to become what I want to become?
Or are these sets of circumstances that not all people, but a lot people go through at some point in their life?
