It is extremely important to understand that everything in life happens for a reason and there are no accidents. Everything in God’s infinite universe is governed by laws. If something happens in life, be it positive or negative as you interpret it, it has happened to teach a Spiritual lesson. In truth, everything that happens is good. To even look at something as negative or bad is an interpretation of the mind. Everything is good in the sense of everything being a Spiritual lesson and Spiritual test. It is certainly okay to have preferences for certain things to happen and this is as it should be, and you should go after your preferences with all your heart and soul and mind and might. However, the lesson is to be happy whether you get it or not! Happiness then becomes a state of mind, not anything outside of self!

Now, it is a fact that very often in life no matter how dedicated, good, pure, Spiritual or even Christed we are, things in life will not go according to our preferences. This can be caused by personal factors that we set in motion in this life or past lives. There are also many things that happen that do not meet our preferences that are caused by other people, for we are not alone in this world. There are 7 billion other souls in this Planetary Mystery School called Earth. Certain things happen because of personal karma and certain things happen because of group karma. There are other things that happen because of planetary karma or historical karma.

Why something happens, in truth, does not matter, for if it happened, the fact is you needed that lesson. The cause of why it happened is unimportant. One cannot cry over spilled milk! It is spilled and nothing is going to change that! Many times things will not go according to our preferences because we have made mistakes. Sometimes we make very big mistakes and there is great karma to pay. This is not a judgement and is not bad, just a statement that certain mistakes have greater implications than others. Everything is, of course, forgiven and everything is a lesson, so in truth, forgiveness is the healing balm that heals all.

Now the question is, how does one turn something negative that has happened into a positive? Certainly the first way is gaining the “Golden Nugget of Wisdom” from what happened! Also, one can make a specific Spiritual vow to oneself and God to never let this happen again!

So let me review.

The first thing that turns every situation of life that is not your preference into something positive is looking at it as a Spiritual lesson and Spiritual test.

The second thing that causes this Spiritual alchemical process is forgiveness and unconditional love towards self and others.

The third thing that turns any negative into a positive is the “Golden Nugget of Wisdom” learned from your mistake or the mistake of others and/or the Spiritual tests you get to practice.

The forth thing that turns it into a positive is just recognizing that everything works for the good in God’s infinite universe and that God always makes good out of everything! We have all used the expression this was a “blessing in disguise.“ Very often, if not most often, those things that we thought turned out to be the worst turned out to be the best!
