“Things happen the way they’re meant to. There’s a pattern and a shape to everything…Nothing happens without a reason…Nothing is impossible.” — Rosamunde Pilcher
Do you believe everything happens for a reason? I’ve asked this question to many people over the years, and everyone has a different answer. Some say life functions of its own accord and there is a greater power arranging the events of our life.
This might describe a deterministic viewpoint, while an atheist might believe the opposite. One thing is for certain, we are on a journey throughout life that ebbs and flows.
Sometimes we get stuck and it might appear things are not going according to plan. We wrestle to get ourselves out of this state, when all that is required is to accept our circumstances. In other words, our reality echoes the level of our awareness at any point in time.
So, as we learn more, our consciousness expands and we experience life in a different way. Can you identify with this? For example, you may have held a belief about something and through setbacks and disappointments, realised a new perspective? Your new outlook isn’t your endpoint because things change as you gain more information.
In fact, our work is never done because our personal evolution is an infinite strand of thread. Depending on our level of awareness, we attract circumstances based on our beliefs.
For example, recently, I upgraded my computer’s hard drive to a new SSD (Solid State Drive). An SSD uses integrated circuits to store data, instead of mechanical components, such as a hard drive. Most old computers have a hard drive installed, while new computers have an SSD drive.
An SSD drive is considerably faster and more efficient because there are no moving parts. My computer now starts (boots) in less than 8 seconds, where before it took 40 seconds or more to boot.
The point I wish to emphasise is, since upgrading my drive, I’ve been able to work more efficiently without my hard-drive slowly me down. This explains what happens when we elevate our consciousness; we see the world through a different lens which enhances the quality of our life. We make better decisions that affect our relationships and other areas of our life.
