Somehow, I believe in destiny. I’m not religious or anything, so this is not a “I think God has a plan” kind of thing, but I still believe that everything happens for a reason. That in the grand scheme of things, whatever happens is just meant to happen so that we can go the path we’re meant to go.
Admittedly, thinking this helps most of the time to get through the really difficult periods in life. But even when things are great, I really think that we all just follow some plan and all the twists and turns in our lives are somewhat pre-shaped. I mean, I still think that it makes a difference what our reaction to things it and some things just really depend on the effort one makes. But all the things we don’t have an influence one anyway, are either supposed to happen or they’re not.
It’s a very complex thing. And a complex thought process. *g*
