"Everything happens for a reason."
I found myself using that expression a lot the last couple of days.
As I stood there typing those words as part of my reply to a friend's text, I stopped and thought, does everything really happen for a reason?

(Things) happen(s).
How we interpret and use those things is our choice. It is 100% under our control. We can lament how the world has conspired against us, or we can realize that everything that happens to us is an opportunity to learn and grow.
So the next time you use the phrase "Everything happens for reason" ask yourself, is this just a story that I am telling myself or am I actually trying to find the meaning, the lesson, that opportunity for growth, in what has taken place?
Because then, and only then, will that thing have happened for a reason.
