You're both looking at it wrong. Those aren't good things that are "HAPPENING to you". Those are good things that you ACCOMPLISHED. Be proud and enjoy them while they last.Yes, I believe in cause and effect.Cause, and effect are a legitimate reason. Not to be confused with sound reasoning......I said: "I don't know about that."
My life has been one disaster after another, culminating in my wife leaving me.
Now, things seem to be going good: new job, new book I'm writing, a woman who might become my new girlfriend.
All these new good things are causing me a new kind of stress: I'm worried that, once again, things will go wrong and I will lose them.
The new woman in my life says she believes "things happen for a reason."
I guess, if I was honest, I'd say: "that is not necessarily so."
But believing that every event is part of God's plan is not something I'm ready to accept.
And I think that's what she meant when she said "everything happens for a reason."
