Causality or coincidence...?

This is a very controversial but interesting topic. A lot of people believe that when something amazing happens, it’s just good luck or pure coincidence.

In my opinion, nothing just happens. I don't even believe in luck. I think only a passive person doesn't work to make things happen and just waits around to get some good luck. These kind of people think that successful people are just "lucky".

I personally see life as a great chain of causalities, where everything is connected to each life event and where everything happens for a reason. Maybe we don't know what the reason is yet, but in time we will find out, we also will find all the answers to the questions we haven't even asked yet.

I'll put it this way:

Picture your best friend or your boyfriend/girlfriend. How did you first meet them? I guess that it could have been through a random person that you met years ago, or perhaps, through someone who used to be your closest friend but now is not even an acquaintance anymore. Or maybe you got your current dream job because of your horrible and useless ex. It seems that he/she wasn't that useless after all, huh? Perhaps in that non-planned weekend getaway, you met the love of your life, your soulmate, the right person to walk by your side on this beautiful journey.

That negative experience now has a purpose, hasn't it? That ex, that not-longer-friend, or that complete stranger, was meant to cross your path so you'd get that beloved job, meet that amazing new friend who touches your soul, or that special someone, who you fall completely and madly in love with.

Sometimes, even "unfortunate events" such as being fired from the job you thought it was perfect or even getting robbed, happens for a perfect and magical reason. A reason you're going to love later on, when you get to connect all the dots in your past. I'm going to explain it to you with the same example I always use. I consider to be the clearest one to prove my point:

In the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (SPOILER ALERT) it’s explained perfectly. Where the main character suffers a car accident, due to the accident she was reunited with her greatest love -the gorgeous Brad Pitt- after a long time. The movie also shows how "The Chaos theory" -butterfly effect- works, explaining the chain of events that took her and the car into the right place and timing.

Here is the scene, my favourite one of this movie:

(END SPOILER)

Life is a perfect chain of events meant to be. It's really mind-blowing when I think about it. Every time I think how life's magic works.  Every time I look back and connect the past events I realize new crazy "coincidences" which at the end, were everything but a disconnected accident, and turns out, they have brought me to where I am standing now.

All these little things from my past had something to do with my present, they have brought me to Australia...
