Nothing About Your Life Is Actually Random

Everything happens for a reason, you know

Most people go through life thinking that things just “happen” to them and most occurrences are outside their control. They don’t believe in a God, or they do but they don’t trust in that God or really think about it most of the day, so they feel like they’re at the mercy of chance and circumstance. Stuff just happens, life unfolds, and as you resist believing in any type of higher power or order to the universe, your anger, anxiety, and frustration grow. You get mad at other people because you think they’re the source of all the bad stuff. Then, you forget how love works and that fear isn’t helping anyone. Life becomes dark.

When I began writing that paragraph, I didn’t expect it to turn so dark.

It’s all real, though, guys. Your depression and stress in life all root from your fear that things are totally and wildly out of ‘control’ and there’s no order to this existence. But I have good news for you: you can stop freaking out right now. There is nothing random going on here.

We have freewill, but there are things that are unavoidable, and anything you perceive as “bad” happening in the world is actually a grand opportunity for soul growth. Anything “good” you perceive as happening is an expression of divine love. Actually
