Everything Happens for a Reason

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
-Marilyn Monroe

I couldn't agree more with all of the above.  We may not always understand why, but I believe that with our life purpose, things always go exactly as they should.  This includes relationships, events, jobs, good times and bad.  In the end, there is a lesson to be learned.  Are you learning?

Trust Your Instincts

We all have an inner voice that guides us when we're in trouble or when we question something.  There's nothing greater than trusting your instincts.  I learned a valuable lesson this past weekend when I was running errands.  I grabbed my smaller purse and had an urge to grab my entire wallet and camera rather than just my ID and credit card while shopping.  At some point in the day someone helped themselves into my car and stole my purse.  Luckily I had the goods, but had I not trusted that inner voice I would have been out a lot more than my favorite JSimps purse.
The same goes for situations at work, with friends, family etc.  When something doesn't feel right, something's not adding up, trust your instincts.  They've never done me wrong!

I'm a Quote Girl

I love quotes. Quotes inspire me.  It is part of my morning routine to read my daily inspirational emails and find a quote fitting for the day.  Whether I'm sad, excited, feeling lost etc. quotes seem to always put me back on track.  There's just so much wisdom that can be put into a few simple words, such as the quote below:

 Sometimes good things fall apart
so better things can fall together.

We may not always realize why things happen the way the do, or timing, but trusting that life has a purpose and we are where we're supposed to be is key.  Another favorite of mine:

Enjoy where you're at, on the way to where you're going!
