Experiences We Don't Understand

Monday's inspirational thoughts for a happy and fulfilling day.   [View Online]( INSPIRATION [Experiences We Don't Understand]( All of the events in our lives lead to other events; they are all connected. Sometimes we have an experience that we don’t understand, but if we look deeply or wait long enough, a reason for that experience will usually reveal itself. All the events in our lives lead to other events, and all that we have manifested in this present moment is the result of past events and experiences. We cannot easily tease apart the many threads that have been woven together to create our current reality. Experiences that don’t make sense, as well as any that we regret, are just as responsible for the good things in our lives as the experiences we do understand or label as “good.” This is especially important to remember at times when we feel directionless or unsure of what to do. It is often at times like these that we take a job or move to a place without really knowing if it’s the right thing to do. We may ultimately end up leaving the job or the place, but while we were there, we may have met an important friend, or we may have had an experience that changed us in a profound way. When all the pieces of our life don’t quite make sense, we can remember that there may be some hidden gem why we are where we are. It’s fun to look back on past experiences with an eye to uncovering those gems — the dreadful temporary job in a bland office building that introduced you to the love of your life; the roommate you couldn’t tolerate who gave you a book that changed your life; the time spent living in a city you didn’t like that led you into a deeper relationship with yourself. Remembering these past experiences can restore our faith in the present. Life is full of buried treasures. Chances are, you’re sitting on some right now. ❁ Did you miss yesterday's inspiration?
