Why Do Things Always Happen To Me?, #624

In this episode, we talk about this phrase. It usually shows up when things are going wrong, and we feel unfairly picked on by the universe. We feel we are having far more than our share of challenges and even things we thought were under control somehow go south. What is really going on here, anyway? First, think about the purpose of life. Is this life designed to be a walk in the park where we collect fun experiences and then leave? Is there a larger purpose that involves learning important truths and having growth experiences? I think of this as a sports playbook. My life playbook probably has me winning every game and having fun. God’s playbook is for me to learn and grow. Those are wildly different goals.
