Same is true for people and other animals who cross our paths. Even the places we visit, live, or work are not random occurrences. It is what we make of those life experiences that determine whether we are learning a lesson to benefit the good of all, or focused solely on what we can get out of it. Our choices in each phase of our lives then will reflect whether we believe in the great orchestrator of life, who creates nothing by accident, or whether our life serves only our self centered endeavors. Life is either about learning lessons or staying in a state of aggravations.
Figuring out the in-depth lessons in life requires a close relationship with the Holy One, consulting the Holy Spirit within, a daily Prayer life and seeking the Word for insights, noticing the creative miracles going on right in front of you, constantly going straight to the Creator for answers…. Your Life is no accident. Sometimes it’s years before we truly understand someone, see a situation clearly, get an answer to the why of it all, finally appreciate the horse of a lifetime…
A life lived to the fullest means seeking Holy advice a thousand times a day, and engaging in the work in order to learn the daily lessons. The alternative is becoming a lonely, angry recluse blaming the world, family, jobs, or natural disasters for all of your “problems”, failures, and unhappiness. Life begins within. Do the work within and stop blaming all that is without.
