It All Had to Happen This Way

It all had to happen this way. Every choice you made, every mistake you think you made, every detour, every loss, every moment you wish you could take back. It all had to happen exactly as it did to bring you here. And this is true not just for you. It is true for all of us collectively.

Life is imperfect, and everything is interconnected. There are so many things at play beyond what we can understand and what we prefer. We all ended up here on the planet and in our lives inheriting beliefs, patterns, and circumstances beyond our control. We are learning every day, and we did our best with what we had. There is no other way it could have been up until this point, and we can continue to evolve together.

This isn't about making peace with a disappointing past, pretending horrific things aren’t happening, or avoiding responsibility for ourselves. This is about freeing us up from regret and shoulds so we can be clear about who we need to be right now. If we are willing, we can have a total, joyful acceptance of life, which is the only thing that gives us the freedom to create from right here. We are fully prepared for what we are meant to do and the difference we are meant to make if we let go of needing to know what the whole plan is. And this is always the case. We simply need to attune to it.

When we stop arguing with how we got here, we can finally be here. Being here, fully embracing the imperfection that has shaped us and will continue to shape us, is where our real power resides. Our minds may never fully understand why things happen the way they do, yet our hearts intuit that there is something bigger at play.

What becomes possible if you consider that it all had to happen this way?
