There always seems to be a reason
I just noticed that I have started to truly believe that things happen for a reason. I used to throw that idea out there on occasion because it sounded neat. But I guess I've come to realize you can always find a purpose behind events if you reflect on it in the right way.
I suppose the transition from half heartedly believing it to whole heartedly is noticing that I feel like I am supposed to be where I am right now. Sure the same result can come about by various paths but I'm not sure that I would have ended up here if it weren't for certain events in my life. I don't think it would have happened if I hadn't gone to Burning Man with out Brendon. I wouldn't have met Peter, who brought me to Boulder and I wouldn't have found myself right here, right now. There are a lot more details that come into play in all of that but I don't feel like being detailed tonight.
Anyways, what made me notice this change in thought process is that I've found myself in a situation that I was concerned would be a problem for the other person involved but has actually turned out to be a problem for myself instead. It has me wondering why it even occured in the first place. I haven't figured out why yet, but I did find it interesting that I'm looking at it in this way.
