Interesting thread
Several times, bad or challenging things have happened in my life and at the time I've thought, why did this happen, What have i done to deserve that?!
But since reading a few books by the likes of Eckhart Tolle : The four Agreements and Napoleon Hill : Think and grow rich, I see that certain things happen (at the time) supposedly without reason.
But many months down the track, those challenging situations in the past have helped teach me valuable lessons which have come in handy when future struggles occur.
Bad things do happen, but now i try keep an open mind and not take the situation, what people say or do, personally.
That's probably been one of the best things to keep in mind for me, If someone does something bad to you and they try to blame you for their bad behavior aka "you made me do this / act like this etc" or just does something out of spite, don't take it personally. People are going to do whatever it is they're going to do and the majority of the time, we cant do anything to change it. At best, we just delay the inevitable.
I try (although its difficult at times) to be a good person and do the right thing because I can, not because I should or because I think its the right thing to do, It always comes back to you at one point in time. :star-w:rs
