I BELIEVE that, and continue to prove in my own life, that everything happens at the right time, at the right place, for the right reason, and it serves us. 

Every event is an opportunity for us to learn. When we learn the lesson, we move on to new opportunities. If we decline to learn the lesson, we can be sure the lesson will repeat until we finally learn it. Each time the lesson repeats it will always be more painful until we have no choice but to learn the lesson.
