A very good question
This statement is just said to comfort ourselves or others, so that there can be a positive way to look at the future instead of brooding over the past. I think this is exactly why it is said.
Good luck.

it is true. This is because to maintain the balance in this world. You might try for something else but it turns the other way round. This means that you was born for a purpose and to fulfill it. Even the world war happened for a purpose so that people will know what will happen if you become jealous, angry and do not treat people in a humanitarian way. As lord Krishna said the world will come to an end and again will be born. Hence the good and the evil has to be balanced. Whenever things are not balanced even tsunami occurs!. Therefore everything happens for a purpose and we have to accept it. After all we are just pawns in a game and we have to finish our duty and leave this place.

We don't always know why some things happen to us—nor do we always know where they came from. God is at work in the world—but so is the devil, and we can't blame God for everything that happens to us.
Sometimes, in fact, we are responsible for the bad things that happen to us, because we make wrong decisions or deliberately turn our backs on God and His will for our lives. The Bible says, "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For ... each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed" (James 1:13-14).
But the most important thing I can tell you is this: No matter what happens to us, God is able to take it and use it for our good—if we let Him. Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery and told his father he was dead—but instead of being bitter or depressed, Joseph put his life into God's hands. As a result, God used him to save Egypt from famine. Later, after the brothers were reunited, Joseph told them, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good" (Genesis 50:20).
Begin by giving your life to Christ and asking Him to come into your heart. Then ask Him to give you the wisdom and strength you need to deal with your hard times. Most of all, ask Him to teach you through these experiences about His constant love.

There is no predetermined reason for anything. The simple and weak minded take comfort by deceiving themselves that they are part of some bigger plan but that is just a cop out for those who find reality too difficult to face without a psychological crutch.
