For a Reason
Most us have heard this: everything happens for a reason.
Agree? Disagree?
Of course, everything does happen for a reason—from the light bulb burning out to a selfless act of bravery to things from the dark side of the force.
When something wonderful happens to us, we rarely say it happened for a reason—which is a passive phrase most often connected to difficulties.
I suggest this approach: when some event ensnares you in a drama, it is you who must provide the reason, the lesson, and the meaning. This is power; this is art; and this is a life worth living.
