Here is Freespirit's Question she put on another board.  I moved it here so it could be seen easily.
 
Question?
Do we "encounter" life - or does life "challenge" us?

((((((((((Free)))))))))) So good to feel your presence. May your year be a happy and blessed one, sweety.
 
Sometimes I feel we encounter life... it having been pre-ordained/written for each of us.  Life seems to travel on in spite of all of us. But, challenges always seem to blend into our lives as well. So for me, my thoughts on this, is a balance of both. Just enough challenge to keep us on our toes and connected to a higher being. Jusy enough of life's encounters to keep us going or struggling  toward each day... and still, we seek a higher being for guidance. It seems we are destained towards that higher being, no matter.
It is amazing to find some people seem to go through life unscathed. Their lives seem to be filled with constant happiness and good fortune, while others seem to continually struggle.
Is this the outcome of seeking or not seeking a higher being's guidance??  In the end, does all become egual.. balanced?
Love and light, inner peace, Real

Thank you (((((((Winds)))))))) for moving this question and for your wise answer.  ((((((((((((Real)))))))))))....I so miss all of you...but I am working at the times that we could previously have been in contact.
 
Life does present us with an infinite number of challenges.  But I agree, that whatever confronts us - presents a greater challenge and the potential to grow.  I have often wondered why...why things happen in the way they do and to whomever they do?
 
Perhaps when it is all summed-up.........the only thing that is enduring - is love.
 
I would really love to hear from other members on this issue.
Love light and peace
