What if…
Everything that has ever happened to you has happened exactly the way it was supposed to?
How different would your life be if you could embrace that statement?
Everything that has ever happened to you has happened exactly the way it was supposed to.
How does it feel to allow that into your body? To fully embrace that there was nothing you should or could have done differently to change the outcome. What happened was exactly right.
No more wishing it was different.
No more guilt.
No more remorse.
No more beating yourself up.
Everything that has ever happened to you has happened exactly the way it was supposed to.
People spend an inordinate amount of time feeling guilty or wishing that things in their lives had turned out differently. From very small things, like a missed opportunity, to very large things like how much time you spent with a dying relative.
This guilt keeps you from fully living your life. This guilt eats you up inside.
And you know what? This guilt is a waste of your energy. It isn’t helping you or anyone else at all.
You can’t change what happened. You can think about it as often as you like for as long as you like, but nothing will change what occurred.
In some cases you can make amends. You can go back and apologize or explain or make retribution.
But other times there is no way to go back.
Can it help to keep agonizing over it in your head? Is it worth all that precious time going over and over something that you will never, ever be able to change or take back?
Instead, what if you could believe that it was all for the best? That everything is exactly the way it should be–no matter what that looks like.
You and I can battle for hours over this. I am sure that you can make plenty of very valid arguments about how things “should” have been different.
But the fact remains that it happened the way it did.
Which is easier? To fight that it shouldn’t have happened. Or accept that it did?
How would it feel to make peace with it? To accept it, to try and learn your lesson and move on?
Because when you can believe that everything happens exactly the way it is supposed to, you can find either the good in what happened or what the situation was trying to teach you. It’s always there, if you take the time to see it.
When you stop fighting and railing against the reality of what has happened, the power it holds over you tends to melt away on its own.
What we resist, persists.
How different could your life be if you could embrace that everything that has ever happened to you has happened exactly the way it was supposed to?
