Things Happen For A Reason

Does everything happen for a reason in our lives?

Yes, all things happen for a reason and these reasons shape our lives.

Life is a constant series of occurrences and happenings.

Incidents keep happening one after the other to take our lives forward.

The fact that several incidents add up to keep life rolling means that these incidents are happening with certain effects attached to them.

Thus, everything happens for a reason which gives rise to different incidents, which eventually affect our lives in different ways.

If we can understand what these reasons are, maybe we can increase our influence on these incidents and their effects on our lives.

Thus, things happen for a reason and we need to know each one of them and their respective nature.

Things Happen For A Reason: The Exhaustive List

So, what are the various reasons for which things happen?

For Nothing

Things happen for a reason and the first reason among them is ‘nothing’.

In the material or the physical world, everything happens for a reason.

Nothing can happen for ‘nothing’.

But for an individual, many things may happen for no reason at all.

One thing that affects the life of one person doesn’t need to also affect the life of another person.

Your life may not be affected at all by what happens in the life of a person who is a stranger to you.

When you look at this stranger who is talking to somebody or riding a bike, something is happening in your life but it doesn’t affect you in any way.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘nothing’ plays out.

For Random Reasons

Things happen for a reason and the second reason among them is ‘random’.

Random things may happen that do not have much of a reason attached to them.

A stranger may throw a water balloon at you that hits you.

Such an incident happens for no particular reason other than entertainment for that stranger.

For you, it has a random reason that tells you to walk carefully around strangers.

But this incident may or may not happen every day which shows that the incident happened for a random reason.

Similarly, you may win a lottery or a bet on a lucky day.

Here, the random reason behind you winning the lottery is to make you rich.

But this doesn’t mean that you would win a lottery every day.

Thus, you won the lottery for a random one-off reason and you may or may not win it again.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘random’ plays out.

To Pull You Back

Things happen for a reason and the third reason among them is ‘to pull you back’.

Some things happen to give you a message, to scare you, or to demotivate you. 

The reason behind all these incidents is to pull you back from doing something.

It could happen both in good and bad situations.

If you are pulled back from a good situation, it’s a loss or disadvantage for you. 

But if you are pulled back from a bad situation, it’s an advantage for you as a possible loss was prevented.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘to pull you back’ plays out.

To Keep Things The Same

Things happen for a reason and the fourth reason among them is ‘to keep things the same’.

The next reason for which things happen is to keep you where you are or to maintain the status quo.

It may happen that you are working hard but you are not getting success.

It may also happen that despite making a big mistake at your workplace, you still don’t have to pay for it.

Another possibility is that maybe you were ready to execute a plan of yours but due to a new development, you changed your mind and didn’t execute the plan.

All these things happened with a reason and that reason was to keep you at your initial position.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘to keep things same’ plays out.

To Push You Ahead

Things happen for a reason and the fifth reason among them is ‘to push you ahead’.

Some things happen to convince you to move forward in a particular situation by committing some kind of action.

You receive positive signs and indications that make you feel motivated to do certain things and eventually, you do them.

If it was a positive situation that you were pushed into, it was your confidence that pushed you through, and it would give you rich dividends.

But if it was a negative situation that you were pushed ahead into, you were probably stressed at the time, and now you would have to bear the brunt and incur losses of some kind.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘to push you ahead’ plays out.

To Fail You

Things happen for a reason and the sixth reason among them is ‘to fail you’.

The sixth reason why things happen is ‘to fail you’.

When you are prepared but do not feel motivated or good inside regarding an opportunity soon, maybe it is happening so that you fail at it.

Or if you are not well prepared for it and still feel confident enough, it may again be happening to make you fail.

But remember, failure doesn’t always mean failure.

Sometimes, it is a stepping stone to success.

This means that it may be a small failure to help you get a big success in the future.

It’s also possible that you are not made for the field you are currently in.

So, you fail to reach the field you are good in and thus succeed in it with flying colors.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘to fail you’ plays out.

To Give You Success

Things happen for a reason and the seventh reason among them is ‘to give you success’.

The seventh reason why things happen is to give you success.

When even after making big mistakes they don’t cost you, it’s a sign that the time has come for you to succeed.

Sometimes, you may feel that you are not prepared for a situation well, but still, you can perform well in the actual situation.

It’s also possible that you felt that you didn’t perform well in a situation but still got the results you wanted. 

These are also indications that you were ready for success which is why you nailed it.

This generally happens when you have done a lot of hard work in the past and have shown a lot of patience when things were not going your way.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘to give you success’ plays out.

To Complete You

Things happen for a reason and the eighth reason among them is ‘to complete you’.

The eighth and last reason why things happen is ‘to make you complete’.

Many people have to see a lot of failures and frustrations in life.

They do everything they can but still keep failing continuously.

But when they do not give up and keep moving forward in life with confidence, a time comes in their lives when success starts happening to them in continuity or succession.

It starts looking like that they can’t put even a foot wrong.

Success keeps coming from all directions thick and fast without any signs of retreating.

And all these successes together make that person complete and his life completely successful.

Thus, things happen for a reason and this is how the reason ‘to complete you’ plays out.

We Choose The Reasons

Things happen for a reason but who gets to decide these reasons?

The reasons for the things that happen to us are chosen by us.

They are not chosen by someone else or by God himself.

It’s we who write our destinies by getting in control of these reasons.

We are free and always have the option to choose what we want for ourselves in various situations.

We can give up and thus choose failure for ourselves even in favourable situations.

Alternatively, we can choose to be strong and thus choose success even in the worst of situations by staying patient and not giving up.

Whatever may happen in life, always choose the right reasons to take yourself in the right direction.

Doing this would let you find success even in the most challenging of situations.

Everything happens for a reason and when we choose the right reasons for these things, we also subconsciously choose self love as our journey.

And when our life journey gets filled with self love, our life becomes meaningful and beautiful forever.
