"I don't think much of a man who isn't smarter
today
than he was yesterday." Abraham Lincoln
If we don't look for the patterns in life, we won't see them;
if we don't see them, we can't see the wisdom behind them.
And so life seems like something that "just happens to us,"
rather than something that carries messages for us.
When we learn to start looking for the patterns,
we begin to see a benevolent force causing to occur
in our lives exactly what we need to learn the principle
of Development or Growth which says to us,
"Everything that happens to us, happens for our development."
The more you look below the surface, the more you learn that
you can trust life, that things are evolving exactly the way they need to
for our growth toward becoming stronger and healthier people
so as to permit fulfillment of ever higher levels of our potential.
