Things happen and they keep on happening. Do they really happen for a reason? Well, yes, if by that, you mean when we trace back the factors that led to the event, we can see what choices were made and which motives took control.
 But if, by that, you mean some supremely intelligent force was carrying out a grand cosmic plan? Well, maybe none of us are intelligent enough to truly know! In our emotional life, though, placing some trust in a higher intelligence has to be the smartest thing you can do!
When our hearts are full, our lives have meaning. And when we're caught up in tense exchanges, it gets so much harder to recognise and celebrate all that's good! How are we supposed to keep the blues at bay? Are we destined for an experience of misery if we don't strive to find the best level of relationship with those who matter most?
 Right now, that's actually not the solution. Give yourself to the most worthy endeavour We can. And much of what's tense in our emotional life will naturally, surprisingly resolve itself.
