In each of our journeys in this world, we are called upon to fill many roles. Some of those are roles we freely choose and then again, there are those parts of our paths that are cast upon us, not of our own choosing.
From the moment of our conception, we are set forth on the journey of our lives. The parents we have are the ones that we are supposed to have. The circumstances and surroundings of our birth were exactly as they were supposed to be.
As we grew up in years, we began to interact with those people that were in our environment, which was not the one we had chosen for ourselves. We went to fend for ourselves in the world, learning important lessons each step of the way. Even those times as youngsters that we found ourselves confused and bewildered were meant specifically for the future paths we would one day take.
The way I can best figure is that each of us has a specific role to fill in this world. As sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, each one of us has something to contribute to the well-being of others.
Even the jobs we have had were specifically designed to fulfill our life’s purpose and to affect others in ways that we are many times unaware. The reason we thought we were doing the job we had been called to and the actual reason we were there are perhaps light-years apart.
Each of us also has had those dark times in our lives when things seemed to be totally out of balance and we wondered if there was any purpose at all to our existence on this earth. Even during those times, our experiences were designed to help us to be of service to those that themselves would be facing similar obstacles.
Best I can tell, I was meant to be on this journey of my lifetime, or else I wouldn’t be here writing these words. I am thankful for the many blessings I have received and also for the challenges life has sent me, for they are what have made the person that I am today.
And today, I considered myself both happy and blessed.
