"Everything happens for a reason" -- and other lies I've loved | Kate Bowler | TED

This is the most wonderful talk I've heard all my life. I've watched this multiple times and still feel emotional. I prayed for you Kate that up until this very moment you're still in good health. God uses your life to inspire others. ❤❤❤

Death is the end of life, not relationships. Your son will know that you are a brave woman and will live forever in his heart.

...and she is still blindly in love with the idea of a God. Oh god oh god oh god. How is this allowed on TED?

Everything DOES happen for a reason. Even the bad.

There is no greater love than a mother's love. Please tell me who has given such a type of love only to mothers.

It is only mother that she sacrifice her life for their children. Not only human being but animals also do. Doe stand in front of tiger for protection her fawn.
Indeed mother love is priceless and infinite.

You believe you live long life. I belief , your belief will convert to reality that you will live long. My almighty protect you ,your husband and your little angel . You are the bravest one you will definitely defeat this desease. You are our inspiration.
Stay bless❤

Life is beautiful and hard also hmm

It’s important to realize that you must live your life for the now, not for some magical promise of the after. Life is hard and life is beautiful but that is the reality. It is always better to choose reality over magical promises.

Life is a kinda struggling to a large extent. We should be positive to cope with it. She is awesome.

Tell me she is still living 🥺

It hard for everybody to think a bout death but I am sure we are going to dy many by diseases or accidents or whatever because this is our fate and our day of death certainly will not change so don't warrior try to injoy your time

Hi lovely women❤

So very powerful. Thank you for reminding me that I am not entitled to my dreams, and that the length of my life has no correlation to how hard I try.

Is she still alive?

😊

Jesus I love you

If you want proof of WHY we suffer and WILL suffer, look no further than the accounts of people who have had near-death experiences. We are on this planet to grow, to expand and learn to love, ourselves first before we can love others. Learning seldom happens without pain. What we call good and bad are human constructs. Every struggle, every joy, gives us an opportunity to express love, compassion and increase our knowledge and wisdom. If you fear death, separation from the body, you will eventually find out that you had nothing to fear. Everything does happen for a reason, and YOU were co-creator in your life lessons, before you even took on human form. So learn that things do not happen TO YOU, they happen FOR YOU.

When you feel like the feeling of love is absent in a moment, a day, a circumstance, YOU be the love you want to see. YOU be the light. That's why you're here. Communicate with the divine, communicate with your spiritual guides, communicate with Source, God, Great Spirit, Creator. It doesn't matter how you reference the One. Just communicate love. Perfection, as we know it, is also another human construct. Everything is perfect as it is. Perfectly imperfect and designed to teach us everything we came to learn in this lifetime. Embrace it all with love. Grieve when you must because the human cells record events, attachments and emotions. Let go of human expectations and attachments. Surrender to love and the divine. Make plans and have dreams but do not assume how or where you will express them.

Keep one foot on the earth and one foot on the other side. That's enough for now.
