I have always wondered if everything we do in our day to day life is controlled by the Universe. People have different thoughts on the subject. 

I believe that every action we take has a consequence, whether it be good or bad. But I also think that if you were suppose to meet that special person in your life or get that special job, then you will, no matter what you do.

Its like saying every action was made before you even took it. This can possibly be true. But most people would argue with this point by asking me why many problems take place eventually after taking the wrong path. I would come back with, every path you take was destined to become a reality for the purpose of learning something from it. In the world of dating for instance, you and your present partner met each other purely because the Universe wanted you to be together. So you may have met that person in a restaurant or in a bar and that person projected a certain personality that caught your attention. Now after reading the last statement you may ask me why did my relationship with my ex last only for  few weeks or few days and my current lasted for so long. At this point I would come back saying that the Universe wanted to you to learn something from your past (it may be some thing small or something big, it may even be something that you did not learn directly but instead got it subconsciously).

There are many reasons to believe that the Universe is controlling everything you do. So what can we do for ourselves with this information you ask me. You can start by not worrying about certain events in your life that did not work as planned. Instead be happy with whatever you have and let your inner self talk to you. It is this inner self that is telling you to take the actions that complete the requirements of the Universe.

Let the Universe control your actions and be happy with it because you cannot change what is destined to be true. But you can enjoy your life no matter how terrible it goes because the way you see your world changes the way you think.
