I don’t so much believe bad things happen for a reason as I believe they happen because of our bad choices to not use reason.

Our connections to others are living legacies which affect us daily. Our interactions are seeds planted in their souls. As long as we live, we are sowing in and reaping from the lives of others. Once we understand this, we realize that most of what we grow comes from the fields of others.

When our influences on the outside become stronger than our faith on the inside, we have stepped into dangerous territory. Listening to others does often feed our growth. But believing in ourselves is the voice of the divine telling us we can be more than anyone on the outside can even fathom.

The idea that others’ words and opinions should affect our feelings is not a written law in stone. It is simply choices as to how we will allow them to make us feel. What is often lost is that we have all the power. By simply not allowing others to affect us in a way we don’t like is an aspect of free will. By refusing to be affected, we become empowered by our choice to be free of it.

The reason we are often at a standstill in life is because there is something we are not seeing and we cannot move forward until it is revealed to us. Although the direction we move forward is a choice, the timing for it is divine. So do not fret when you feel idle, but gather hope that when the timing is right, you were given enough time to choose the best direction .

The key to life is knowing how to live it. Do not waste your youth on ideals that you are not ready yet to understand. Learn to accept that what is out of your control is for your own good. Fail with grace because failing without it makes you appear weak. Love hard and let go peacefully. Laugh when it hurts and smile when you lose. And in the end, feel blessed to have had the greatest experience that you would never want to do again.

Whatever you do in this life, own it. Good or bad, call it yours and take it wherever you go. It’s not about the pride you feel or shame you wish to escape at the moment. It’s about the growth, the lesson, the experience. Running changes nothing. Though you can leave it, it never leaves you. So accept that which you create and it will allow you to create the life you wish to own.

In the sky we call them clouds, but on the ground we know it as fog. Although it’s the same, we see it differently, we name it differently. Because we see it differently, it becomes something different to us. We do this with other aspects in life as well. But the essence of a cloud remains the same regardless of where it is located. The same is true of us. As such, we should always remember the essence of humanity is goodness and then realize that others’ negative actions and demeanor aren’t about us, but where they are in life.

Whatever you are, be that without reticence. Whatever your appearance, wear it, whatever the voice in your head, listen to it, whatever the tune in heart, dance to it. Hearing that it is your soul revealing who you you should be…who you need to be to change the world and make it yours.

Everything you want is on the side of difficulty, the inside of chaos, the backside of failure. So trip and fall with pride, crawl without regret and claw with a jovial attitude to reach it. Because when you do reach your final destination, you will have not only found what you want, but also realize that the journey is actually what you needed.
