I comfort myself with the thought that everything happens for the best in my experiences. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I have a way of comforting myself about everything I experience: "Whether intentional or not, it is all in the hands of the gods, and everything is for the best." Yes! The protagonist of the movie "The Butterfly Effect" looked at his past diary and changed any detail of the past, and everything in the future would be very different. I have also thought about it: if I went back to those moments in the past and made different choices, where would I be now?

What will I experience? That's why there is the exclamation, "Whether intentional or not, it is all the will of heaven." If I were to treat all this as fiction, I would not hesitate to use "Things and Fate" as the title. Yes! I think of the words I said when I first started my journey in life: "In fact, things do not have the power to determine and dominate human destiny. This power is imagined by humans themselves and is just a product of the human mind."

How old was I then? 22 years old. In 2019, I had just dropped out of school in 2018, entered society in 19 and started my self-study exams. What happened after that... I'd better not say! Did the butterfly's flutter of its wings trigger the hurricane, or was the hurricane just about to come, and the butterfly just fluttered its wings under the guidance of an invisible force? Now I'm 27 years old, and the chapter "Things and Fate" is over. I have no debts, so I'm going to start a new chapter, which I'll call "The World as It Is," a new chapter of living in the world as it is.

Hello, I hope my answer helps.

Your words give me hope. You're looking for a fresh start. I believe your past will help you. Life is always difficult. Growing up in adversity has made you strong. We can't change the past, but we can control the present.

Here are my thoughts:

There are three types of things in the world: your own, other people's, and things in heaven. You can only control your own.

As humans, we are limited. Many things are beyond our control. If we obsess about these things, we will be exhausted and unable to do many things. There are only three things in this world: our own affairs, other people's affairs, and the affairs of heaven. People are troubled because they do not control their own affairs.

We must know the difference between what is other people's business, what is God's business, and what is our own business. We must learn to let go of other people's business and God's business because we cannot control it. For our own business, we must take full responsibility and do what we can do well. This way, you will also feel more secure and in control and you will be able to truly change what can be changed.

2. You overcame a difficult situation, which shows you have good psychological resilience.

It's amazing that you paid off all your debts. It shows you can overcome difficulties. Only someone with good mental strength can do this. Look at how you managed along the way. You'll see your strength, courage, wisdom, and talents.

Some people can get through a major setback in life, while others cannot. This is because those who believe in never giving up can face difficulties head-on, never give up, and persevere until the end. Suffering is also an inseparable part of life.

When we face difficulties, we should remember that what matters is not what we hope for, but what life brings us. When you find the meaning of your life, you will see the treasure hidden behind the pain. You will discover that what does not overwhelm you will make you stronger.

Your resilience will help you understand life's meaning, reach your potential, and grow in every situation.

3. We can't change the past, and we can only control the present. Your future is created by each moment.

The past is gone, and the future is not here yet. If we always regret the past or worry about the future, we won't be able to move forward.

The only thing we can control is the present. When you return to the present, your thoughts and ideas will subside, and you will feel peace and tranquility. You will dwell in the present, create and experience in each moment, and truly live life to the fullest. This is not easy to do. We need to practice constantly, detach from the mind, and become the master of the mind.

Read "Jump Out of Your Head and Into Your Life," "Mindfulness: The Present Moment is a Flower," "Contemplation: Self-Care," and "An 8-Week Mindfulness Journey" to learn to live in the present.

For your reference. Best wishes!

Hedley Davis Diligence is the rhythm that keeps the heart of success beating.

Life has its twists and turns, but I find solace in the thought that everything unfolds as it should, guided by forces beyond our control. Embracing this belief helps me to accept the present and look forward with optimism.

Romero Thomas Learning is a celebration of the human mind's capacity.

The idea of changing a single detail in the past and seeing how it ripples through time is both fascinating and daunting. It makes you wonder about the path not taken and the life that could have been. But perhaps the real magic lies in the journey we've actually taken and the wisdom it's given us.

Alexa Thomas A person well - versed in multiple academic disciplines is a valuable thinker.

Reflecting on my own words from when I was 22, I realize how much I've grown. Back then, I believed that destiny wasn't set in stone and that we had more control over our lives than we think. Now, at 27, I see that while we can shape our fate, there are also elements outside our influence that play a part.

Jayden Anderson A teacher's ability to make learning fun is a key that unlocks students' eagerness to learn.

The Butterfly Effect teaches us that small actions can lead to significant changes. Yet, it's also possible that events were destined to happen, and the butterfly simply danced along with the flow. Either way, it's an intriguing concept that challenges us to consider the interconnectedness of all things.

Quinn Davis Learning is a habit that enriches life.

Starting a new chapter called "The World as It Is" feels like a step towards acceptance and living in harmony with what is. It's about embracing the present moment and finding peace in the world around us, rather than constantly striving for something different.
