Serendipity, and the magic of karma.
I’ve just read a fellow blogger’s post about kismet, and in 
answer to his opening question, “Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?”, my answer, as confirmed by all those who know me, is a definite bold capital underlined YES. Yes, I do believe everything happens in order for something else to be made possible. Everything that happens to us is a direct consequence of, or a precursor to, events that map out our existence; events that prove to be the milestones of our life on earth.
Why don’t things happen when we’d like them to happen? Because everything happen or does not happen as part of a course of events that will eventually lead us to wherever we’ll be, same as it led us to where we are now. I believe that although we might not be aware of it at the time, a “mishap” or some event that did not turn out to be exactly what we were hoping it would, ultimately forms part of a domino effect of events that, when looked at in terms of the big picture, all make sense and fall in perfect synch with eachother.
So, going to my previous post….well, there is a reason for everything. Perhaps that job wasn’t meant to be. Or perhaps….the delay happened for another reason. Some of my friends think I’m crazy to believe this so strongly, and they think it’s a form of illusion. I can’t argue with that. Perhaps in a more logical view of the world, it is. But it works for me. I believe that whatever energy we throw into the atmosphere, that karma will come back to us. Maybe not immediately, maybe not in an obvious way….but looking back at past events, what energy we sent out was eventually returned, throughout the course of history.
So what’s my point here? No real conclusion I guess….except that if we take whatever happens not just as a casual occurrence but as a vital link in the dominos of events that are to lead us to our eventual target, then life will stop being a daily struggle against odds. It will regain the magic and charm we remember as kids.

I’ve found, taking a leaf from your book, that ultimately you end up being happier if you take things as being related, linked, ‘meant to be’. If you dwell on the bad things in life you end up being very unhappy or bitter… but if you transmute those times into leading somewhere possibly positive then you feel better about them and can move on more easily.
I’m a believer in you get out of life what you make of it. If you’re positive then you get more positive things reflected back at you. If you’re negative then you can get more negative things reflected back at you… this translates well over into your philosophy.
Yep totally….karma and all that. Hehe or, to use a well-known catch-phrase:
Life is what you make of it.
I agree 100%, infact it’s what kismet, karmic debt, and positive and negative energy are all about, right?!
NO! They’re not!
