Everything Happens for a Reason

Notice whenever you bang your elbow, stub your toe, get hit by a falling tree branch, and so forth. When such events happen, stop and ask yourself, "What was I thinking in that precise moment, and how is it related to what appeared to be an accident?" You'll discover a pattern: What you're thinking is usually mysteriously tied in with what's taking place from moment to moment. Do this to create a constant awareness of your Source and the direction of your life. ~from Inspiration, Your Ultimate Calling by Wayne Dyer
