What Does It All Mean?

When bad things happen to good people we wonder, “What does it all mean?” We search for answers. We drive ourselves crazy looking for the lessons to be learned. Funny, we don’t normally do the same when GOOD things happen. We just accept that this is the way things should be. We have a sense of entitlement and naturally EXPECT that good things will happen to us. Most times, we don’t even acknowledge the good. We don’t pay tribute to the gifts in our lives.

Why is it that we can trust that all is as it should be when everything is running smoothly but when the arse falls of out ‘er, we panic? (That’s a Newfoundland expression but I’m guessing my intelligent readers will get the proper gist.) Ah… this is where the learning is needed and some would concur that this is why bad things continue to happen… because we are NOT learning the lesson!

We must trust that all things that happen to us and around us are happening for a reason. There is a greater plan that we may not yet understand – perhaps we never will. We must remember to look upon the universe and its great sense of humour with awe and just get out of the way. Sometimes we have to leave well enough alone and not look so hard for the meaning. It will show up when we are ready.
