Meant to be

When what we hope for doesn't transpire, we dismiss it as a loss. We sigh with resignation and say, "I guess it just wasn't meant to be." How often then do we look at what remains? When we are passed over for a job, we are in a space where the right and perfect position still awaits us. When a relationship ends, it leaves a space for us to evaluate what we truly want from a partner. When we have to cancel a trip, we have the money to spend on other perhaps more pressing needs. Accept whatever feelings accompany the loss and know that something better is waiting to manifest itself. This something better is what was meant to be, otherwise the alternative would be in your life. Perhaps the timing is not right for it to manifest, and it will show up in your future even better than you imagined. What have you hoped for that didn't occur and how is your life better today after accepting that what was meant to be was right and perfect?
