There is a Reason

I heard a quote yesterday that for whatever reason is sticking with me. "Dependency destroys the human experience." Looking back on my life and seeing all of the struggles and all of the triumphs through them it just makes me realize even more why I deeply believe in another quote, "Everything happens for a reason."

In this time of 'change' that everyone so desparatley seems to be wanting, I see people relying on getting that change from someone else or hoping someone else will create and provide for them. I hope you realize that 'change' lies within ourselves. And personally I'm not comfortable relying on anyone creating change for me except for myself and those close to me.

Everything that is happening is happening 'for a reason.' What that reason is, I don't know, but in this time of change and transition in our nation it is now more than ever that I feel I must rely on my faith to get me through because I will not be relying on my nation's government to create my 'change' for me.

God has put me through trials and tribulations in my life to make me the person that I have become today. The person that I have become today needs to be who I am to get me through difficult times with ease. All of the tools that I need to make my life happy and prosperous are right in front of me and not dependent on someone else to put them there for me. Its just my job to figure out how to use those tools to my advantage. Back to the dependency quote, you must keep in mind that the more dependent we become on other people and means the less we learn about ourselves. Hence the reason you are destroying your own human experience.

I am an extremely independent person and if you ask my parents I am pretty sure they will agree that I have been that way since birth. I've always done my own thing and I will mow down anyone who gets in my way. Does this mean I have more human experience than most people because I haven't relied as heavily on others, no, but does it mean that I've learned a lot of things the hard way, yes. Am I thankful for that, yes. The best part is that I now have an amazing man in my life. The one that I always hoped I would find and the one I prayed God would bring me and God prepared me for him just like he always promised me he would.

Take time to enjoy life, take time to appreciate why you are who you are and thank everything you've been through to get you there. Make sure you create your own happiness and realize what happens now is continuing to make you who you will end up being in the future. For everything, there is a reason.
