If it's meant to be, it will be

But does everything happen for a reason?

I often find myself convincing myself that bad things happen as an alternative to awful things happening. Like somebody would lose a valuable item as oppose to losing a valuable person. It's a little crazy to think like this, and maybe I should seek some help, but it's all in desperation to answer the 'why?' And retain some self-sanity. 

It's often said, 'no matter how impossible, unattainable, or unimaginable something may seem, if it's meant to be, it will be...'

And I can't help but challenge it and ask what is it that makes it so not meant to be? Nobody can answer that and we'll more than likely never know. 

So let me ask this; if something isn't meant to be now, does that mean it will never be? Or, as circumstance and people  change, will it eventually be?

I guess nobody can answer that either, but I've realised we've nothing to lose by trying. Sure it's deflating and annoying but the 'what if' would be so much worse. 

My new motto reads as so: 'take the hit, accept the fall...but stand straight back up and go back twice as strong'. At least that way you'll rest happy knowing you did everything in your power and nature to succeed in, or attain, whatever it may be. 

I'm as confused as this bog post is confusing. Answerless and, still, unanswered. 

Just power on.
