Everything Will Always Work Out

When I think of how truly connected everything in life is,  I joyfully think about the song and opening scene of Disney's The Lion King, in which all the animals from the pride lands came to the birthing ceremony of Simba. In the background,  we hear a story about the Circle of Life.

The circle of life, the food chain,  destiny, serendipity,  and "everything happens for a reason" are
all very similar notions. Every thing and every being has a purpose.  All that is orchestrated naturally in our lives,  is testament that life happens full circle. Birth and death. Loss and gain. Joy and sadness.

The opposition of life is so important to understand and embrace because it shapes you to be stronger, more resilient,  and of greater gratitude, if you choose to look at life's opportunities in such a way. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond.

If we embark on the journey of life with an open mind and spirit, knowing for sure that every person, lesson, and experience is working together, life's blows can be taken standing straight up. Simply just believe that one day, it will all make sense because it will! I promise. Well, if you're open to connecting the dots.

When you're experiencing whatever you're experiencing,  sometimes you can wonder to yourself, Why? Why is this happening? You might even go so far as to wonder,  why is this happening to me?

Well ...why not you? Why not now? Why not? Are you so special and unique that you should be exempt from the difficulty and challenging times of the human experience? I think not. But as you ask those questions,  consider your role in the plot of life. See we have thoughts and actions that often bring certain occurrences in our lives, but in a grander scheme, we also are just containers for God's greater plans. Our influence and control only goes so far.

So in understanding that there's a grander scheme than we can imagine or create,  we can choose to look at life differently. Honoring the journey,  the confusion,  the timing, and the seemingly incongruity.  When things just don't make sense,  I think that's a sign!

It's the beginning of a beautiful week,  and I want you to choose the attitude," something great is in store and this is serving a great purpose! "

"This" can be the day, week, interaction with a stranger, coworker, family member, traffic,  or even the time in your life. Shift your relationship with time, expectations, and development.

BE Open. BE Hopeful~
