Everything happens for a reason. When you lose, there’s always a reason. It’s your loss, not the world’s. When you win, there’s always a reason. It’s your win, not the world’s. You have reasons at every phase of your life.
A reason to cry, a reason to smile or a reason to give up. But one thing I know for sure is that if you are here reading this then you have tremendous strength inside you…strength that can never be found in any book or teaching.
The strength you have is the strength to dream…the strength to pursue your dreams…the strength to fight those who think differently and the strength to beat all odds.
Chelsea football club
The hulla baloo between Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and UK government, which is gradually leading to the destruction of the club is also happening for a reason.
Roman Abramovich who is a Russian was been sanctioned by the UK government. As they intend to sanction all wealthy Russians with assets in the country. This is due to Russia's invasion on Ukraine.
The government's sanctions on Chelsea Football club is an attack on every fan and its representation of consumerism. By forcing some do's and don't on the club, the government is telling us that we are being punished for our consumerism at large.
Chelsea is not just a football club, it is an emblem of an era when money was being made. It represents the time when we could buy anything and everything we wanted.
With all these shit happening. It means something more than just "we are the champions" or "we are special".
Someone made a tweet on Twitter. In the tweet he quoted "If this is the end of Chelsea, then it will be a noble ending" which is true, it is our best year all this is happening.
We won the champions league,
the super cup, and
the club world cup.
The painful part was that yesterday (10th March) was our birthday.
When we loose something, the logical response is to believe that something was taken from us – by some one. And so we react in kind. Bitter.
"If "this", then "that". The formulaic mentality of retribution and payback?"
But then something happens. In this case, something good happened; an occurrence so unexpected that it is difficult to accept at first glance. But with time, it becomes apparent that what once was lost was replaced with something greater. Something more beautiful. Something more genuine.
The less obvious you are about your faith in God, the more He works in your favor unseen. The more you are aware of God's plan in your life, the less you are able to accept his blessings as they come.
It feels a lot better to earn something than to be given things beyond our comprehension.
There was a time things were not going as I planned, I was really shaken up and started to doubt myself even more. Even asking myself if I was ready to do this at all. And you know what I found out?
That it was all part of a greater plan that I can't see right now.
But you know what?
Shit will get better, it always does.
So keep on doing what you love, no matter what happens you'll find your place in this world. Everything happens for a reason.
To all my friends who are facing a problem right now, To my friends who have given up and have lost hope, To my friends who are going through a difficult time and don't know what to do.
To those of you who've lost a love one in an accident and can't find the reason behind it, To those whose life has been taken away from them in a natural disaster.
To every other Chelsea fan across the world, To every single person who is and has gone through a tragedy.
I want you to know one thing and I want you to believe it with all your heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
It's not always the reason that we want but it's there.
Chelsea will always remain my favorite club
