There’s a moment in every person’s journey where you pause, look back, and suddenly the dots connect. Things that once felt confusing, unfair, or even painful begin to make sense. That’s the moment you realize: nothing you’ve been through was wasted. Everything that happened, the detours, the heartbreaks, the closed doors, had a purpose.
I wish I had learned this earlier: “EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON“.
Every trial, every delay, every “NO” from life is not rejection, but preparation. What feels like an obstacle today often turns out to be a bridge tomorrow.
Sometimes you’re walking a path and thinking, “This can’t be right. This is not what I wanted.” or that job you wanted, but later find out the job position has been filled. But the truth is, every road you’ve been on has led you exactly where you need to be. Even when it doesn’t make sense now, later it unfolds and you see the wisdom behind it.
We go through experiences. We build character by facing things we never thought we’d survive. We become stronger and resilience. And sometimes, God withholds what we think we want, not because we don’t deserve it , but because we’re not yet ready to receive it. There is a saying, “God’s timing, is the perfect timing”.
When life feels heavy or unfair, whisper to yourself: “It’s okay. I will be okay”. This isn’t denial. It’s a reminder of your resilience. It’s a declaration of faith. And faith, is believing in what you cannot yet see. It’s trusting that there’s a bigger picture, even when you’re holding only one puzzle piece.
So, if you’re reading this and wondering why something happened, why something ended, or why a door stayed shut, hold onto this truth: nothing is wasted, and nothing is random. You’re being guided, shaped, and prepared for what’s next.
Take a deep breath. Let go of the “why” for now, and trust the “how” will reveal itself. Your story is still unfolding. And one day, you’ll look back and understand exactly why it all had to happen the way it did.
