Everything happens for a reason. You hear it everyday, but do you believe it? For me, everything I've been through the past couple of years has led me to say that, yes, it must be so, it must be true.
I wonder sometimes what makes people work, because
some people really do
work. I'm sure a lot of things come into play, like a goal and dream to look forward to and work towards, support of the family and friends...etc.
But how can some people take risks so surely? With conviction? I don't think people do so illogically, but no matter what, there is always a sense of uncertainty. They must have faith; this is undeniable.
Then how can someone have faith? A lot of things come into play, but one thing is for sure about faith; a person has faith because he or she had an experience before that made them realize that everything will be okay and feels right; let's call this experience "happiness".
Happiness, in this case, is an event someone experiences that makes them feel like this is what I was meant to do, this is what I'm meant to feel. For some people, happiness could be playing music, or acting, or playing basketball, or doing math problems, or hiking, or helping people, or this is the person that makes me feel like I'm alive, this is the person I'd die for.
Without experiencing happiness, a person cannot have faith, without faith, a person cannot proceed in any risk. And without risk, there isn't change... And without change, there isn't growth, and without growth... a person really isn't living.
Then the fundamental question is: what makes you happy? Well, ironically, that's one of the only risks worth pursing wherein there is no uncertainty. Everyone is meant to have a "happiness experience". And when you've experienced happiness, then you'll have faith, and then you'll take risks...
I've found my happiness.
PS: If you think that not all people experience a happiness experience, then well, that is nonsense. Why? Because logic says so. You have your talents, you have your uniqueness. Use them. What if you don't use them? Well, then you don't have faith or reason. And I'll sum up 3000 years of philosophy for you - you must at least use your ability to reason logically, it is, essentially, the crux and namesake of our humanity, and if you don't want to use it, well... let's just say you were a smarter person as a baby, because even babies understand conceptually the laws of physics between birth and 2 years old.
PSS: There really isn't anyone who does not think; in fact, people who say they don 't think, just think wrong.
