Everything Happens for you—not TO you

In this reflective video, Dana Herrera poses a powerful question: What if everything is happening for you, not to you? It’s a subtle but profound shift in perspective—one that invites viewers to reframe life’s challenges as stepping stones rather than setbacks. Speaking with quiet conviction, Herrera encourages us to look beyond the immediate discomfort of difficult moments and recognize how they often lead to unexpected growth, clarity and opportunity.

Using her own journey as a backdrop, she echoes the idea that meaning often reveals itself in hindsight. Just as Steve Jobs once said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward,” Herrera reinforces that when we look back—on a layoff, a pivot, a personal loss—we often see how each moment shaped what came next. This short piece isn’t about toxic positivity; it’s about trust, perspective and the belief that life is unfolding with purpose—even when the path ahead isn’t yet clear.
