I had no choice!

This is often what we cry when an event happens in our life that is, well, difficult.

I’ve said this many times, usually when I was looking at an event such as the abuse as a teen, or my divorce.  Those events happened. 

I didn’t think I drew them too me on an intellectual level, but what if I did?

"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you." ~ Richard Bach

What did I do with those events?  What gifts did I receive?

I learned more about my own strengths.  I learned about forgiveness and compassion.  I learned about how to choose me.

What if my desire, deep within my spirit, was to experience and to remember these qualities I hold?  If this is true (and for me it is) then I did draw these events to me.  I am responsible, but not in that blame sort of way.  I’m responsible in a divine way.
