Today, completely unexpectedly, I met a girl named Lukrecija. Everything felt so spontaneous — like something out of a movie. We both ended up going to places we usually wouldn’t, and today, for some reason, we each chose to walk a different path — and that’s exactly where we met. It truly felt cinematic, and I’ll say this: nothing happens without a reason.
After about an hour and a half of walking and talking, we decided to stop by a café. There, we got into a deep conversation about the challenges life sometimes brings — financial uncertainty, heart matters, and those inner storms we all go through. And then she shared an insight that shifted the way we often look at situations like these — a reminder of why we sometimes end up exactly where we are.
The words she said were:
“If you’re facing difficulties — in this case, with money and relationships — it’s all happening to push us toward the direction we truly want to go. Most often, that’s toward a dream or goal we’ve been avoiding for various reasons. Because as long as we sit in our comfort zone and ignore our inner voice — our calling — we remain unhappy. We often feel depressed and stuck in a constant state of ‘wanting.’
And when life creates uncomfortable situations – which we usually interpret as life being unfair or ‘hard’ — we’re left with no choice but to move toward our goal and reach it the harder way. Of course, you can choose to resist this ‘fate,’ fall into depression, and things might get worse… But life will keep pressing harder, sending more challenges, until we finally start listening — and begin to live out our true calling.”
