No such thing as bad luck

My wish as always is for you to have a happy Monday.

Learning involves repetition and this lead many people to the misconception that they have bad luck because the same seeming misfortune or bad situation keep recurring. The truth being that our desire and/or our destiny lead us into tough situations for us to learn lessons. Learning is not something that is once mastered but require repeating the same thing.

In life there is no such thing as a natural champion. In order to become a champion one must train and practice and in many instances compete against opposition. A champion that has never faced opposition is just a champion in his own eyes because in order to be a champion the champion must overcome every opposition.

Our desires and our destiny will take us to great places but there is the need to be equipped and prepared. This is why life take us into and through tough and difficult situations. It is also why some persons write in their biographies that they graduated from the school of hard knocks or from life's university. These people’s summaries are not true because depending on their goal and aspirations there may be more hardships to endure in life. There are things in life that will not be learnt outside of hardship and tough situations.

In the end the whole is part of a process or cycle and there is the need to understand that there is someone or some great force controlling everything and the situations and circumstances encountered are not arbitrary or accidental but that all things happen for a reason or purpose. We have destinies, goals and desires and life take us to school as part of the preparation process.

I have been reading a small amount of material with regard to science of late. A part of the reason for this is that there are persons who are willing to challenge my Christian beliefs on the grounds of science. This is  a difficult task for me  because the persons who are claiming there is no scientific proof to what I believe are not scientist neither do they read science.

The great thing about science is that scientist examine what exist and present possible answers as to how the thing come into existence. This easily allows for a number of possible answers by the scientist and all are right. In religion the same thing is passed down through many generations.

Scientists have identified stars that are forty light years away (light travels at 670,616,629 mph. and a light year is the distance light travels in one year). Scientists also tell us that our solar system (The Milky Way) has over 100 billion planets and there are in excess of 3000,000,000,000 galaxies in the known universe. These stars are not stationary. In fact time and the courses of the stars are so exact that scientist can make predictions based on this a thousand years into the future.

It is not necessary at this time to debate how this came into being but the stars, suns, moons, planets, comets  etc have a circuit that they travel. A study of the earth also reveals that there is order and purpose. It is reasonable to assume that if the stars etc has a circuit that they travel and on the earth there is order and purpose then the things that happen in our lives are by no means accidental but also serve a purpose.

I often mention that before I could choose whether I wanted to do so or not I was taught the basics of farming by my parents. As I write this article I am reminded of two fruits that are interesting to me and they are oranges and  the otaheiti apples. The fascinating thing about these trees is there are times when fruits are on the same trees at various stages. There are the ripe and matured fruits that are ready to be picked and eaten. There are fruits that are half way to maturity and there are blossoms indicating that a new crop is in the making. All this on the same tree at the same time.

This really should be how the process of science works but the scientists tell us that things take millions and billions of years to occur so we have nothing at present to indicate that this is what will eventually happen.

All too often we are told to set small goal and when the total of the small goals are totaled then we shall have a large sum. If however we look at the workings of the great big universe and accept that it is organized, exist for a reason and serves a purpose then we will see that although we think ourselves as being insignificant we too serve a purpose. There is some power or someone somewhere directing and controlling all.
