Why do things happen they way they do?
i guess i survived, yet again! No one has, no one will overpower the winds of destiny. What happened in your life was supposed to happen. It's a part of your life story. Your story is yours and it compares to none else.
One of the quotes I love is 'Only dead fish flow with the flow.' I like to believe that man creates his own destiny and life. The last few months have taught me that well, not quite. Man has a limited mandate. Our control, as far as I see is limited to two things:
Thoughts
Actions
Thoughts are things, so my card says. Whatever decisions we take, are right. Think about it. Have you ever taken a decision which intends to cause you pain, sadness, displeasure- deliberately? NO. You don't. We want our decisions to give us happiness, pleasure, fun, excitement and take our lives to a higher level. The decisions we take are right at the point they are taken. So, as far as sanity is concerned, ALL DECISIONS ARE RIGHT. Only lunatics take decisions that cause pain. We have a certain level of knowledge and experience and with that we take decisions that are intended to uplift our lives.
However, sometimes, they don't. Bizarre things happen and your decisions turn out to be wrong. Did you intend it at the time you made that decision? Of course not. Hindsight is always right. With what you learnt as a results of consequences, you will feel that it should have been obvious to you! Forgive yourself. If you could have, you would have.
We don't control results and consequences completely. We have limited control over them to the extent of directing our thoughts and actions with the power of our will! What happens is what is supposed to happen. HISTORY IS THE VICTOR'S ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED. Don't believe everything you hear.
Lets tickle the grey cells. Why did Helen Keller lose her eyesight and hearing at 19 months? Why was Nick Vujicic born without limbs? What did Nelson Mandela do to deserve to spend over 27 years in prison? Why did Lance Armstrong contract cancer in his 20s? Why do innocent people lose their lives in terrorist attacks? Why are people born to destitute poverty and helplessness? Some of these people like the ones I have quoted emerge and succeed. Many don't.
Things happen. There are so many questions which have no answers.
Sometimes you will do your best and fail. Sometimes, someone you loved a lot will leave you without reasons and explanation. Sometimes, bad things do happen to good people. As Steve job says, sometimes, life will hit you with a brick- without explanation! Yes, it's not fair. Whatever!
What's the worst that will happen? You will keep fighting till the last breath in your lungs. You will die. It's better than giving up without a fight. We fight since we are not willing to acknowledge defeat. NO. Give up or fight like hell (lance Armstrong)
The world moves on, without you. No one is indispensable here. You are relevant as long as you can prove it. The world will leave you for dead if you don't keep reminding it that you exist. The world has evolved and lives on the Darwinian Principle namely- LET THE STRONGEST LIVE AND THE WEAKEST DIE.
I am sure the greatest inspiration of my life- Helen Keller- understood this.
Do your work. Never give up. The purpose of life is purposeful motion. To do the best we can and keep improving our best with what we learn. Let results and consequences take care of themselves since they will, anyways.
