Every Experience in Life Has a Purpose – The Dots Will Connect in Time

Every Experience in Life Has a Purpose – The Dots Will Connect in Time

Life often feels like a mixture of random events. Some moments don’t seem to make sense or fit together. We go through challenges, face tough times, and sometimes wonder why things are happening the way they are. But what if there’s a deeper purpose behind it all? What if, in time, the dots of our life story will connect?

Steve Jobs talked about this idea in his famous 2005 Stanford speech. He shared how the choices and events in his life—like dropping out of college or learning about calligraphy—didn’t seem to make sense at the time. But later, looking back, he realised how they all played a role in his success. As Jobs said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.” This means that, although we may not understand why things happen at the moment, over time, everything falls into place.

When we see life this way, it can bring us peace. Instead of stressing about every small detail or worrying about the future, we can trust that things will work out in the end. Even the hard times, challenges, and mistakes can teach us something important that we may only realise later.

Sometimes, we don’t understand how our experiences are shaping us until we look back. But in time, we see that everything, both the good and the bad, has been preparing us for something bigger. The pieces of our life puzzle will fit together, and we’ll see how everything was part of a bigger plan.

Believing that everything happens for a reason helps us stay patient and trust the process. We might not always have the answers right away, but eventually, the purpose behind our experiences becomes clear. When we look back on our lives, we’ll see how all the dots are connected in the end.

The beauty of life is that it unfolds in ways we can’t always predict, and sometimes, we may feel lost or uncertain about the direction we’re headed. However, if we trust that each moment is leading us somewhere meaningful, we can navigate life with greater ease and hope. The struggles and joys we face today are all part of a larger story, one that we’ll understand more clearly as time goes on. The dots will connect, and when they do, we’ll realise that everything had a purpose all along.

The Few Who Understand

Every day, we meet hundreds of people who wish us hello, hi, and bye. However, there are only a few people who can understand us in our lows and highs. In the noise of the crowd, we often feel lost, drifting through faces, but paying the cost. We share fleeting moments, brief as a sigh, yet crave that connection that reaches the sky. Some offer a smile, while others just stare, but only a few truly show that they care. They listen intently, with hearts open wide, inviting us in, letting feelings collide. Through laughter and sorrow, they walk by our side, their presence a comfort, our fears set aside. So let us treasure those who see through the haze, for they are the light that brightens our days.

Be Like a Seed; When Someone Tries to Compress You, You Make Your Way Out

  Life is not always smooth. Many times, people or situations try to hold us back. They try to control us, limit us, or press us down with negativity, criticism, or challenges. But in those moments, we must remember to be like a seed. A seed is very small and weak in appearance. It gets buried deep under the soil. The soil covers it, presses it from all sides, and keeps it in darkness. But the seed doesn’t give up. Instead, it gathers all its strength, grows roots, and pushes upward. It breaks through the soil and comes out into the sunlight. This is the power of patience, strength, and growth. In life, too, when people try to suppress you with words, actions, or by creating difficulties, don’t give up. Build your strength silently, stay positive, and keep moving forward. Remember, pressure can’t stop a seed from growing. And pressure shouldn’t stop you, either. Be like a seed, and when someone tries to compress you, rise above, break through, and create your own path towards succe...
