Nothing happens by accident

Nothing happens by accident, because we are all connected.

The world, the universe, everyone's life, animate, inanimate, our second to second actions link together in one big, uncontrollable matrix. The air I breathe in, breathe out, goes into the atmosphere which trillions of life forms also partake in the process of breathing. The smile or stern face I have depending on the days, has an indirect application to strangers on the street. The horn you beep in the car, has an impact on hundreds around you: the children on the street, the office workers above, the residents nearby, the cars around you.

Within this framework, nothing happens by accident. It is a matter of whether your consciousness has understood it based on your mindset and life experiences. The desire for attention may be something unaddressed in your childhood. The lack of expression for your emotions and subsequent lack of communication may be something suppressed within your childhood. On a smaller scale, you may be grouchy because you are hangry from not eating in the morning. If you are in a long term relationship and you both have normalised a certain code of behaviours, you may find it difficult to try and deviate from that routine, even if it is in your best interest. By adhering to your desire to remain compliant to the 'norm' and comfort, you are creating deeper dissatisfaction. This can flow on to everything in your life. Nothing happens by accident.

This is mind-blowing if you think about the intricacies and it may come off nihilistic. This is where the search for inner peace and acceptance becomes strikingly important to me. As the world becomes bigger both physically and in our minds through our more and more demanding lives, we must learn to appreciate smaller. As people get older, their kids get older, they feel as if they desire some small wins again. Many of them turn to exercise, new hobbies, investing in themselves. At times, we just have to bite our tongues and keep persisting. There are so many different stages and cycles in life, but the overarching desire for humans is ultimately a sense of peace within their day to day chaos. You are your own source of satisfaction. To get there, you must undergo the challenges and live the natural process of life. Take them as they come, accept them. Nothing happens by accident. Ensure you are manifesting the right energy, the right attitude and the right people around you. You are a product of your own environment. Life is all a push and pull, back and forward, up and down: a constant state of never perfectly balancing. There is no perfect state. Nothing happens by accident. We are just all living through moments. For most people, let them be.
