No snowflake falls on the earth in the wrong place. Everything that happens and everything we experience must occur in exactly this way. Even the smallest events, which may seem unimportant to us, must appear exactly as they do. When a person enters our life, they are exactly the right person for that moment. No one appears by chance. Every person who lives near us or with whom we are connected has significance for us. Directly or indirectly, they may give us guidance, teach us, or open up the opportunity for us to understand something and improve ourselves.
Based on the law of cause and effect, all things that happen in life are “perfect.” Even though much may seem incomprehensible to us and joy and pain alternate, all events are completely logical. Whatever happens, it happens at exactly the right time. Everything we experience is already prepared and is only waiting to appear. And everything that has already happened has also passed. These insights can help us understand that it is not worthwhile to constantly struggle and be dissatisfied. Rather, we should let go and have the courage to accept our life and continue it calmly. In this way, we preserve much of our precious life energy.
I wish for all of us that we may succeed in shaping the present moment harmoniously and regarding it as a valuable seed for the future. I wish for all of us tolerance and compassion. They are an important source of health and harmony. I wish for all of us a happy and peaceful new year.
