A new perspective on life

Day 299 / 366

A friend recently told me about a really cool thought experiment. What if, before you were born, god gave you an option to choose which life you wanted? And you looked at several possible lives, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to live exactly this life. Wouldn’t you be grateful for it?

That would mean that when you are going through tough times, you should have faith that it is going to end well. Because when you chose that life, you would have evaluated all of this. You would have known that it was all worth it. Otherwise, why would you have chosen it?

Isn’t this a wonderful way to look at life? You would know that everything that happens to you, happens for a reason. All the setbacks and all the obstacles are not roadblocks. They are the necessary steps you need towards your growth.

It’s a reminder that you are the protagonist in your story, and no matter what twists come your way, it’s all leading somewhere meaningful.
