Would you have ever guessed that a bad decision that you made and you knew it was wrong or bad when you made it, would have ever turned out so right?
Several years ago a friend of mine decided to separate from his spouse because of a difficult marriage. After a year they agreed to give it another try and he moved back in with his spouse.
Several years later the marriage finally ended for good. It was just one of those relationships that was doomed from the beginning but they both of them did their very best to handle their sever differences in outlook, personality and lifestyle.
After the divorce, he met what was to become the first real true love of his life. Their relationship has been filled with harmony, love and every ideal that most married couples dream and hope for.
My point - if he had not moved back in with his spouse, which at the time seemed to be a good decision, that turned very quickly into a bad decision, he would have most likely never met his true soul mate several years later in that very town.
It is unlikely that they would have ever met if he had stayed in the residence where he was when he and his spouse were separated. If they had divorced then he most likely would have never returned to the town where they lived as they lived more than forty miles from each other in a metropolitan area of more than two million people.
There are several ways to interpret or view this combination of circumstances and events.
One is that if they had never separated in the first place none of the succeeding events would have taken place.
Another is if he had not moved back in with his spouse there was still no guarantee that he would have met his soul mate after they divorced.
There are unlimited ways to evaluate and consider the consequences of every decision we make. The key thing to remember is that no one knows what the future holds. No one knows in advance how their decisions will turn out. No one knows what options they might have tomorrow or next year. If they did we would not have the significant divorce, bankruptcy and substance abuse problems that we do today in society.
