Everything happens the way it’s supposed to happen. How do we know this? Because this is how it IS happening or how it happened.

READ THAT AGAIN.

This then is fact or actuality. It’s how nature works. This has nothing to do with feelings which only makes things muddy when we start to say something shouldn’t have happened or that it should have happened.

This really is separating our thoughts about a situation which in turn become feelings or emotions and viewing the situation for what it is.

It is very difficult to accept this concept when it is the loss of someone be it a death or the breaking of a friendship. It is not easy to accept when you get fired, or don’t get the job you wanted or you get a flat tire or lose your wallet.

However on the flip side we feel happy and grateful when things “work out” or they seem to “fall into place”. The concept cannot work only one way. We cannot say the stars are lining up for us only when something that we label as GOOD is happening and then magically the stars are not aligned when BAD things are happening?

Can we alter or change things? Well, we cannot go back in time and as far as I know we don’t know the future so what exactly are we altering. But each decision always has its own set of consequences or outcomes.

It happened that way because it was supposed to happen that way. How do we know? Because that’s what happened. Our feelings may wish otherwise or they may justify our outcome because it was pleasant to us. Our thoughts or feelings do not dictate what IS though. And this is why the concept cannot just work one way, which would only be the way we want and when we want.

It’s two sides of the same coin that we hold. One is easier to accept but it does not negate the other and the truth of what IS.
