When Things Don’t Make Sense, Breathe: Finding the Gift in Not Knowing
In the complex fabric of human life, we frequently struggle to comprehend the mysteries of existence. It’s natural for us to seek meaning in the events around us. Let’s face it: not everything in life is clear, and unraveling every mystery or event that doesn’t make sense can become overwhelming and distract us from the present moment.
Have you ever lost someone in an untimely manner? Have you been let go from a job unexpectedly? Or did a relationship dissolve right before your very eyes?
During times like these, we can be obsessed with finding the ‘reason’ behind everything. We may cast blame or take on all the blame for the circumstances, but we can all agree that neither is productive and can prevent us from opening up to the possibilities that exist at that moment.

From the most minor everyday problems to the grand questions of purpose and existence, humans have an insatiable thirst for answers.
