Fate

Fate

I believe in fate.  I believe we cross paths with people we're meant to meet.  I believe fate plays a role in our life, but I also believe it only leads us certain ways… to have us then make choices.  It's not just about fate.  They say that everything has been written; It's not that we're controlled… it just means that we are known.  The choices we will make are known to Him who created us.  Fate is nothing we can control, but our destiny is the outcome of the decisions that we make after we aknowledge where fate has brought us.  Destiny is where we are led after we make a choice.  We choose what we will live, we have that power.  We can let others influence, or not.  We can many times forget what brought us to where we are, but the choices that we make today are the roads that will lead us to where we will be tomorrow.  We might not remember, we might have chosen to forget, but the choices we made yesterday, are what led us to where we stand now.  I believe in fate… I believe things happen for a reason.  I believe we have so much to do with our destiny.  I believe we choose our paths.  I believe we have the power to control our destiny.  I believe in love, I believe in peace.  I am perhaps vulnerable…  but someone once said "There is strength through vulnerability."  Those of us who put our heart on the table, those of us who perhaps are idealists in  life, those of us who dream, those of us who are optimists… we can indeed be vulnerable to the pain of reality, but if we never dream, we will never achieve.  If we never love, we will never find peace.  If we never risk, we will never win.  If we never let people into our hearts again, we will never understand the true meaning of love.  If we accept reality, and the world as it is today, then we lack hope; we settle in the worst.  We stop doing the right thing.  We give up.  We choose what's easy versus what's right.  Then we will indeed lose.  I believe in fate, I believe in the power of our choices,  I believe we control our destiny, I believe in true love, I believe in hope, and I believe in peace.  I believe things are meant always to be.
