Ep. 10 | It's All Happening for a Reason (and Other Things That Need a Second Look)
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
In today's episode, I'm talking about one of the most overused phrases in spirituality - "It's all happening for a reason" - and how we can reclaim it in a deeper, truer way. We'll explore how this saying can sometimes become a spiritual bypass - a way of tidying up mystery or avoiding pain - and how to instead expand our definition of what "for me" really means. Because sometimes "for me" looks like comfort and clarity… and sometimes it looks like the dark, holy lessons that stretch and grow us in ways we don't yet understand. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life can you expand your definition of what "for me" means - to include not just what feels good, but what might be shaping you on a deeper level?
