Everything happens for a reason...

I am not the spiritual, believer person. I have my reservations when it comes to religion and the idea of God. However, contrary to this, I believe in two things - 

1) Karma - what you sow, so shall you reap. 

This thing has helped me stay true to my conscience and not do things that align to my ideology. Ofcourse, I have erred in life, many at times, but I have very few regrets. Especially, I steer clear of not doing harm to another person until and unless they seek it 🥲

2) Everything happens for a reason

I know you may contradict on this one, but this particular thought keeps me going. Not gonna lie, I have been extremely negative at one point in time, but it was my coping mechanism to not get affected by the worst. However, that's changed (touchwood) and when I connect the dots, most things that has happened to me - good or bad - has helped me become a better person. 

Ofcourse, there are things I wish has happened differently. But still, like I had mentioned earlier, I try not to regret too much about things that didn't happen my way. 

This certainly doesn't mean I am self-righteous, but atleast I am true to myself. :)
