title:{Everything Happens for a Reason. BS?}

I read in someone's blog that he onced believed in the saying "Everything Happens for a Reason" but now believes that life is what you make it.
and I realized, I too share the same idea.

Before, the line that everyone hears from me often was "Everthing happens for a reason," but now I know for myself that it isn't true, that it's BS.
Everything doesnt happen beacuse it's meant to happen. Things happen because of your actions. Like a cause and effect kind of thing but in a much complicated manner.
Things may sometimes seem that it was meant to happen, but I'm sorry to say that those are just lucky 'coincidences', which BTW, isn't a bad thing at all. Just like a blessing in disguise kind of thing. You should also pay attention to these 'coincidences' and maybe you'll find what your looking for in life.

You know what's sad about the "Everything happens for a reason" saying?
Most of the time people use it to justify every bad thing that happens to them.
For example, a girl didn't get into the college where she really really hoped, wished and prayed she would study. And she says, "Ok lang yun, everything happens for a reason naman e," and wouldnt try appealing or something because she now thinks that maybe she wasn't meant to go to that school, and maybe there's something better out there waiting for her.
Haay, a really bad way of thinking.
Yeah, yeah, optimism is healthy..
but shouldn't we have persistence and motivation to succeed and be happy?
and NOT thinking that everything will come easy to us.

Lets stop the notion that things we do and experience prepares us for our upcoming 'happy' future, because that's just not enough if you want to be happy and contented with your life.
It's all about the choices you make and the lessons you've learned.
So choose your path. Learn. Decide. Risk. And live your life the way you truly want it!
