Everything Happens For A Reason

Open Your Mind To The “What If’s”

You ever have one of those days where it seems as though everything goes wrong? No matter what you do, nothing seems to work out the way you wanted? You get so frustrated you want to scream until you are hoarse or throw something as hard as you can and watch it shatter into a thousand pieces.

I firmly believe everything happens for a reason, even if we don’t understand what those reasons are.

Imagine this.

You wake up late, and have just enough time to take the dog out for his morning walk in the park before getting ready to go to work. You rush and put his harness and leash on him and head out.

When you get to the park you turn right on the walking trail but your dog has other plans. He takes off in the opposite direction, ripping the leash from your hand. After half an hour, you finally catch up to him. Now you’re hot and sweaty, and running out of time to get home, take a shower, and get to work on time.

After rushing through the rest of your morning routine, you get on the road, only to be held up halfway there at a railroad crossing. Time is ticking by and with the passing of each boxcar, your frustration grows. Finally the train passes and traffic starts flowing again. Now you’re really late.
