"There must be more to life than sitting wondering if there is more to life." -Anonymous
So many people get so caught up in "why did this happen to me" that they miss out on how what happened has made them who they are today. There are things that happen to us and others that you wonder how you will ever get over it or through it, but contrary to your popular belief you will actually make it to the other side.
It's when you choose to dwell on, stay stuck in, won't let go of and make it your life's mission to answer the question "why" that you lose out on living your best life now.
The reality is that sht happens to all of us and you may NEVER know why, but if you waste your life trying to figure it out you will ironically be re-living the thing you wished didn't happen in the first place.
Plus, what if you actually DO find the answer you've been waiting for? Is it going to make you feel better?
When you find out that this terrible thing that happened was because someone is a liar, backstabber, cheater, psychopath, a parent who just didn't get it, a parent who did the best they could with what they knew, a partner who didn't know the definition of commitment or fidelity, who is irresponsible, immature, indifferent and on and on; are you then going to let it go and move on?
Sometimes things happen where you have no control. Car accidents, illnesses, natural disasters etc. and you can question why or you can look inside your soul and tap into the strength that will get you through it.
People who get stuck wondering "why" stop taking responsibility for their own lives. They place the blame on whatever it is that happened and use that as the excuse as to why they are so unhappy or why they live they way they do.
Waking up every day and looking for an answer to a question that may never be answered is like living inside a prison and not realizing there is no lock on the door. You can walk out anytime.
So if you are sitting around wondering why something happened the way it did, instead why not wonder how you can learn from it, become a stronger, wiser person because of it and embrace all the reasons WHY you are so lucky in so many other ways?
Today is the day to let go of looking for something you may never find, put the past behind you where it belongs and appreciate that everything that happens to you is simply another thread in the tapestry of your life.
We become who we are through all of the ups AND downs in life. And do you want to know WHY? Because quite simply, that's life!
