Everything happens for a reason. Do you believe so?

There are many things in the world that we do not understand. We sometimes ask, "why things happen?" Sometimes, we get to know the answers to our questions, but often, we do not. Well, I believe on what the Bible says that "All things work together for good to them that love God."

I think things do happen for a reason. I got made redundant from my job at age 20 years old I thought it would be easy to find another job. However there was a recession and it seemed impossible to get another job of any kind. I ended up letting my cottage, getting a working holiday visa and buying an airline ticket around the world. I applied for an Access to Higher Education College course and it didn't go well. I decided to ditch it and go a General Certificate in Education Maths and an A Level English Literature. I got good results from doing these two subjects of different levels. I had applied to go to university. I had eight choices and went to for interviews at these. Not one of these universities accepted me. I wasn't going to give up and applied to a university in Wales. I came for my interview and was accepted. Going back to the train station I fell over and broke my wrist. I loved living and studying in Wales when I studied at the university. I was able to qualify as a primary school teacher. When one door closes I believe another door opens in life. At the time we might not understand why something happened but years later we might understand.

I don't think so. Anyway, we are all entitled to our own views.

I do believe that "destiny" plays a big part in the course of our lives. Why am I here, why do I meet this person, why did I move to another place , an so on, and on ? It may be difficulty to understand at times, yet I believe they are the works of destiny.

I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Weather it is to make us stronger or try to break us. Just like with whatever you do there is consequences weather good ones or bad ones.

I am a strong believer in that things happen for a reason. You might not know the reason why something happened at the time, but I think that the reason will come to you at some point in your life. I have had some instances in my life that I wondered "Huh? Why did that happen?" and the answers came to me at a later time. It is not right or wrong to believe that everyhting happens for a reason, but it probably helps to believe to better understand why things happen in our lives.

I don't think that everything happens for a reason, but I don't think there is wrong with things happening on their own, just because they happen. It is not so much about what happens, but how we react to it. Our life is in our own hands, and we have control over most of it. Bad things happen to good people, and okay people, and bad people alike. It's just a matter of coincidence.
