"هر چه اتفاقی برایت بیفتد از ابتدای زمان در انتظار وقوع بوده است"

Life has a funny way of unfolding in ways we might never expect. The idea here is that everything that happens to us was somehow meant to be, right from the start. It's like the universe had a plan all along, and we're just living it out. Sounds a bit like fate, doesn't it?

Imagine this: It's 490 BC, and the Greeks and Persians are gearing up for the Battle of Marathon. Consider for a moment that the Greek messenger Pheidippides, who ran from the battlefield to Athens to announce the victory, had a destiny. His run, which ultimately inspired the modern marathon, was destined to be a significant event in history. From the moment he was born, every step he took led to that pivotal run. It wasn't just a random occurrence; it was a moment that had been 'waiting' to happen.

Let's take a more personal example. Think about Steve Jobs. He dropped out of college, got fired from Apple—the very company he co-founded—and faced numerous setbacks. But each of these events set the stage for his later success. His return to Apple and the subsequent launch of revolutionary products like the iPhone and iPad were pivotal moments that seemed almost preordained. It was as if all the setbacks and challenges were necessary to shape the path to his ultimate success.

So how can you apply this to your life? Start by embracing the unpredictability of your journey. When something doesn’t go your way, instead of feeling defeated, consider it as part of a larger plan. Maybe you didn’t get the job you wanted or a relationship ended. These moments, though painful, might be pushing you toward something greater that's been destined for you all along. Trust the process, as they say.

Think about Sarah, a friend of mine. She always wanted to be a doctor, but she didn’t get into medical school on her first try. She was devastated. But during her gap year, she traveled, volunteered, and gained experiences that enriched her life and made her a more compelling candidate. When she reapplied, she got in. And not only did she become a doctor, but she also found her true passion in global health, something she might never have discovered if things had gone according to her initial plan.

Imagine you’re at a coffee shop with a friend. You’re both reflecting on life’s ups and downs. You share stories, laugh about the twists and turns, and realize that every setback led to something new and often better. It's comforting, right? To think that everything happening now has its roots in the distant past—and everything happening now is paving the way for the future. It gives a sense of purpose to the chaos.

So, next time life throws you a curveball, remember: it was meant to be. Accept it, learn from it, and keep moving forward. Because whatever happens has been waiting to happen, and it's all part of the greater story that is uniquely yours.
