Life Puzzles?.... Discover!
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.” Albert Einstein. Hence what has to happen today shall happen and no human being knows what will happen tomorrow
In the first stanza of Alison Krauss lyrics, she says;
I've seen hard times and I've been told
There isn't any wonder that I fall
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years
There must be a reason for it all
There isn't any wonder that I fall
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years
There must be a reason for it all
This day I have been made to believe that everything that happens, happens for a reason, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, everything happens for a reason! Discovering this reason is a sure way of being happy in life and as Aristotle said “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence”
The wisdom to know what will happen tomorrow would have been the best cure of the heart aches and pains we go through when the uncertain things happen certainly! If only you could know that tomorrow you will lose your job, you won’t be hurt as much as that abrupt termination. However, no human being has been graced with such wisdom!
Most a times when bad things happen to us, we console ourselves that it has happened for a reason and we patiently wait for the good to come out of it. Am not sure if for every bad thing that occurs to us a good thing will eventually result out of it but I am certain that what happens in your life, happens for a reason
My very close friend lost both her parents in a span of a week, I remember very well the times I kept encouraging her that all will work for the best of the family, that God knows the reason and that better things are yet to come. Am not sure if there is anything better that has happened in her life yet, but still I believe that the words I used to encourage her gave her hope. The acceptance that there is a reason behind the family loss consoled and healed her heart!
Knowing that all that happens to us is not only for our own good but also for a reason helps us not only to be grateful in life but also optimistic. For every pain that we bear, for every grief and for every tear there is a reason!
Well, you may ask, how then do you discover the reason behind all that happens to us; good and bad?
There is only one sure way of discovering these hidden reasons, and that is through MEDITATION
As Bruce Lee describes meditation “Empty your mind (meditate), be formless (in the act of meditation), shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot and it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Thus my friend as mediation can make you to be water, definitely it will make you discover the reasons behind life puzzles
Remember, it’s all for a reason, discover it
