Everything happens for a reason

One of the cliche goes like "Everything happens for a reason," but sometimes most of us still get frustrated no matter how we tell ourselves that everything does happen for a reason. What's so frustrating about it -- well, it's waiting for the "reason" part.

You didn't get the promotion and you tell yourself "Everything happens for a reason." But why? Why didn't you get the promotion when you are more deserving than those who got it in the office? What's the reason?
You missed your HongKong Trip with your bestfriends and you tell yourself "Everything happens for a reason." But why? Why did you have to get an urgent task at work and why did it have to be on the same day as your trip? What's the reason?
Your boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with you and to comfort yourself you say "Everything happens for a reason." But why? Why did it have to end when it felt so right, when you did everything to make it work, when you loved and gave without asking anything in return? What's the reason?
You didn't graduate on time and you tell yourself "Everything happens for a reason." But why? Why did you have to extend another year when you were a consistent Dean's Lister? Why didn't your Thesis pass? What's the reason?
You didn't win the Singing Contest and you tell yourself "Everything happens for a reason." But why? The audience knew you had the best voice in the group. What's the reason?

"Everything happens for a reason" is an over-used quote we tell ourselves for us to feel better. It's over-used because it's true and everything really does happen for a reason. Don't wait for the "reason" because if you will, you won't enjoy your life and you'll miss the opportunities that are opening in front of you. Just go with it, just go with the flow, just have faith and let God steer the wheel for you. Sooner or later you'll find yourself saying "Oh! That's why it happened. :)"

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you learn to appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
