: : Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

: Well now, I surely agree with this one for the most part! Right off the bat, I can say with absolute certainty that I am truly meant to be the husband of Bettygnome, that we were meant to meet, and that it was exactly what I needed in my life. And I can't leave out stumbling upon the Mohican board, Rich and Elaine, and all the folks I have bantered with on the board and met at the Gathering. Another meant to be thing which affected the direction my life was to take and led me to paths that made my life more enriched.

Ah, but Bill...it's EASY to believe in this sentiment when you are in a wonderful relationship and are surrounded by folks you really enjoy. The real trick is to accept its meaning when you are dealing with a sorry-ass piece of humanity that you wish you'd never laid eyes on! ;o) Or when your life has turned upside down & you aren't sure how you are going to get through it all. THAT'S when this philosophy takes on its greatest challenge...but also its greatest meaning. It has helped me get through some awful things, sartain. And helped me to look back on those things with less anger and more comfort, knowing those particular events/people, though painful or unpleasant at the time, helped shape my heart & soul and bring me to where I am today. And I try to remind myself of this very philosophy every single day, especially when things don't make any sense. It never fails to bring me peace of mind, and it ALWAYS turns out to be true.
