Recently a friend asked me if I thought there was destiny in our lives. Some people are guided and helped by spiritual forces. Those forces help to keep us on track towards our true destiny~oneness with the infinite. When so called unfortunate events happen in our lives, they may be in fact fortuitous~meant to help us in our spiritual journey. Some of us are fortunate to recognize that sudden circumstances are often the hand of God interceding in our lives. That hand is not limited by human concepts of bad and good, painful or pleasurable etc. These are human interpretations.

However we are also tested by our karma and sometimes there are happenings in our lives that are not for our highest good. They come because of our desire nature and we gain strength by over coming their influence. Those who have an easy life do not have a successful life. Challenges help us grow in a spiritual sense. This life and this earth is a schoolhouse not Disneyland. Although to those who have enlightenment it appears all is beautiful and entertaining.
