Why

Life is simple, it's just not easy.

Why
Why does life unfold the way it does?  Why are we faced with so many obstacles and challenges?  Why do we have to suffer?  What is the purpose?  These are questions you might have asked yourself recently.  Sometimes it seems that life can get hard, almost too hard and we start to question why.  It is at this time that we stop and say, "so now what"  or even the bigger question we tend to have is "why me"?


Every situation that life puts us in and through is for one purpose, to make us grow.  We can't learn who we are, what we are made of, who we want surrounding us and what we are capable of if life was presented to us every day in a neat little package full of rainbows and unicorns.  It would be nice but we wouldn't learn to go deeper.  Instead of asking, "why me", start to view life in a much bigger way and ask, "what am I suppose to learn and how am I suppose to grow".  This is so much easier said then done but the more you try and see what you have learned from these life challenges, the more you get closer to who you truly are and isn't that what life is really about?  We are not here to learn how to make more money.  We are not here to learn how to destroy each other.  We are not here to learn how to reek havoc in the world.  We are here to learn how to love, how to connect to each other and how to grow spiritually and emotionally.  For all of us, it is truly is about the journey along the way and not necessarily about our final destination.
