More so than many other things in my life, I feel confident that everything happens for a reason. In fact, I feel so confident that I feel like I push that belief on other people sometimes. When I am pissed off about something I find comfort that there is a bigger reason in the whole that it happened.An example would be if I missed a flight. I know it's 'cause of my poor planning that it happens most of the time. However, I can sit back after I missed a flight with comfort because I think that happened for a reason. If I had caught that flight I believe I
was spared another situation. It does not have to be drastic like a plane crash, but rather I can think I would have sat next a crying kid, or one that pooped at the begining of the flight and it would smell the whole way. Even something as simple as my seat would not have been comfortable. I didn't "see" that in a dream but I just know things happen for a reason. See what I mean?That time I just won all that money as the casino is a good example too. It could have been luck, I understand that. Lisa wandered off on her own. I wanted to go home so bad, but didn't have the opportunity to voice my thoughts since she was not there. I just thought, I will sit right here 'cause I feel like I should and wait for what is supposed to happen to happen and Lisa will wander back and we will go home. What was supposed to happen did and I was able to pass it on. ...that's hot!
If you see me as more comfortable at times like this and nonchalant, that's probably why.
...and of course, as with any belief rather than fact, you can discount this only because with beliefs, I (...and everyone else on this earth) finds a way to rationalize his or her belief as right so they don't feel dumb in what they believe.
