Everything Happens for a Reason

I have had many different opinions about life in my past. Sometimes my opinion is right, other times I never quite found the answer and it remains my opinion. For example, there is a quote: "Everything Happens For A Reason", this is an opinion because it's a statement that you could choose to believe or not. Through everyday experiences you could apply this quote in your own personal opinion, as to if it applies to your life or not. Personally, I think that both negative and positive situations and experiences happen for a specific reason. You could have both an important and influential life lesson to learn, or it could just be your destiny. My personal opinion is that karma also lies in the picture that "everything happens for a reason".

I would like to share one of my most recent life experiences with you, so you can understand how this quote pertains to my life. Author's photo goes hereFor example, the other day I went on the bus with my friend Marquita to her house. We were waiting at City Hall for an hour and a half; we missed two number seven busses. The third number seven bus arrives at the bus stop, so we said our goodbyes and went on the bus. When I got on the bus the young lady before me dropped her dollar and she also dropped two quarters, so I picked them up and gave them to her. She then said: "Thank You", and my friend Marquita got on the bus and we sat next to this young woman in the back. She then told us, that she is a messenger of Jesus, and of how the world is in-fact ending very soon. She let us look at pictures of her from when she used to go clubbing, smoke marijuana, cigarettes, and when she was doing ecstasy. We listened to this music, and both of us could relate because it was a man rapping about Jesus. She told us about her husband, and how he used to carry a gun on the streets. She told us that we need to change our views on life because when Jesus comes he is going to remind us that he tried to save us on bus 7. AMEN. That concludes why I agree with the quote that: "everything happens for a reason."

An extremely different outlook on life is to realize, how everything around you is happening according to your life circumstances. Every person in your life has a purpose, a reason, a lesson for you to learn about. Every event is placed in your life for you to be aware of your environmental situations, so that you are constantly learning and growing. Changes are changes that occur for preventing, improving, or distinguishing a certain event or time in your life. You control and choose your own distinctive views and outlooks on life, other people only have the power to influence it. So, with all of this said, that concludes my essay.
