“I believe…” two strong words in any dictionary, these two words contain all your morals and values ​​in a single sentence. I personally believe that everything happens for a reason. Do you want to know why? Have you ever had a childhood story told to you so many times that you had trouble deciphering whether you were there or not? Throughout my childhood I was told countless times how my mother miscarried a set of twins between my sister and me. When I was younger I didn't think about it much, the main reaction I had to the story was sadness thinking that I would never get to meet my two brothers. The older I get now, the more I realize that if my mother had given birth to twins I wouldn't be alive today. I later found out that after my mother gave birth to me, the doctors told her that she could no longer have children due to diabetes. This event has made me so firmly believe that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, hell, I'm living proof of that. What more could I ask for? I've had too many encounters not to believe that everything happens for a reason. When I have these encounters I feel like it is an act of God. I have always been told and taught that God has everything planned and knows what will happen in my life. As children we are told stories about these lessons, but they never really sink into our thick little heads. The first time I really remember learning anything from these lessons was when I was 17. It was like every other evening, I was going to pick up my sister. I've always been the person who drives within the speed limit, wears a seatbelt, and never thought about texting and driving! For some reason I got in the car quickly and... middle of paper... talked about a car that made you late, or the barista who made you the wrong coffee the first time, maybe this time in the more it is spent it keeps you away from a fatal accident in which you could have been involved. I feel like people spend too much time worrying about the big things and we forget to take time to stop and enjoy the sunrise or spend twenty minutes in the morning drinking a cup of coffee with the one you love. Everyone tries to take a pill to make life easier to bear, when in reality being happy and accepting your life for what it is seems to be the best medicine for anyone. As the Latin proverb “Omnia Cavsa Fivnt” says, everything happens for a reason; so yes, that idiot in front of you is going fifteen miles under the speed limit, and yes, that idiot barista is taking forever to make a cappuccino, but who knows they may have an indirect impact on your life.
