#inspiring essay: Struggling to believe everything happens for a reason? Read this... Do you believe everything happens for a reason? Read on…. You know that expression, “The more things change, the more they stay the same?” Well, Aristotle said it first. In his own particular words and way. Aristotle (one of my personal favorite philosophers) believed that the universe is in a state of constant motion – always changing, always evolving. However, at the same time, there is one thing that always remains a constant in everything – what Aristotle called “entelechy” – which he defined as your “unique-to-you highest potential.” Aristotle believed that everything on this planet possesses its own “entelechy” – or as he explained it, “having the ability to grow into one’s highest potential stored within it.” Entelechy is a vital force that motivates and guides an organism toward its highest self-fulfillment. Consider the mighty oak tree. Its journey to mighty greatness begins with a small acorn seed. Of course, the seed has to go through certain changes and stages of development in order to reach its full potential. But the potential is a constant: to become an oak tree. You will never see an acorn become a petunia plant, an umbrella or a pizza. CLICK TO READ MORE & GET TOOLS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHO/WHY EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON...
