Of Fate, Destiny, & Pure Luck

Do you ever wonder about fate, destiny, or luck?

Does it exist? Is there such thing as destiny?

Do people live through their destined lives?

I guess, at this moment, different people would have different prospect about the existence of their destiny. The certainty or inevitability of fate and destiny depends on each individual. Some say its superstition because there’s no evidence for the irrevocability of destiny.

Have you ever come across in life, maybe you, or the people around you, start to talk about or maybe plan something, ahead in time to come? When things go right, it’ll be probably because it was planned accurately. But when you fail, maybe because of a bad planning, obviously it’s because of your own mistake, and for those people who can’t accept defeat, and accept their own mistakes, tend to turn around the bush, and take the concept of fate and take it as bad luck, or Karma.

Well, this would be a very complex issue, but as for me, whatever happens, we should be persistent in facing what’s ahead of us. You yourself are in charge of your actions, despite being warned or listening to people’s advice. For it to be a failure or success, I myself couldn’t tell. The choice is yours, and you’re in charge.

As Franklin Roosevelt once wrote; "Men are not prisoners of Fate, but only prisoners of their own minds."

Remorse of the Past

There comes a time in our lives when you keep thinking about what went before this very moment. It might be seconds, days, months, or years ago. Underneath this reminisce, feeling angry and depress with regrets wouldn’t do you any better.

If you could go back time, and change things, will it make you happy?

Will things change today? Will it make your life a better one?

Or things changed for the worse…

Things happen; whether you’re ready or not.

Things happen; whether you like it or not.

For a change, why not recall the significant times you’ve had. Set aside all the cruelty and hatred feelings you’ve encountered and kept.

Open up your heart and mind…

You’ll never know, tomorrow just might be the best day of your life.

Of Echoes & Silence

Ida Scott Taylor once wrote, “Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.”

It’s easy to be said than done, but no matter how tough it would be, you have the choice. The choice to stumble and fall, and succumb your way into the darkness… Or be awakened and find the courage to face the darkness, and step outside.

It has always been a question in my thoughts; is it a passion for people to ruin your everyday life. There will always be something or someone. Do they find happiness? The more devastated you are, the more miserable you get, the more they’re enjoying every little bit of it.

It’s always an unexpected moment, when out of the blue you look back into your past being afraid and alone. And it got you thinking, was it right or wrong? Was it truth or lies? Was it the things you did or things you didn’t do? And slowly, you’re falling apart, weakened, and losing yourself into the darkness…

I have a friend, Inessa, as she once said, “It's pointless thinking ‘What if?’ and ‘What could have been?’ Because the most important thing is that it happened and the past shouldn't affect your present anymore than it already has”

You and I have a choice… What’s yours?

Believe me, life is worth living!

Bits & Pieces

Have you ever question about the issues that are happening around you?

Or perhaps, people you’ve miss?

And maybe you’ve recalled just that very special moment. Just that one moment, which could’ve and maybe by now, changed your life, and you’ll never be the same again…

It’s depressing when certain people around you don’t understand; nevertheless just nod their heads to convince you that they pay attention and comprehend to what you’re trying to express. Eventually, they’ll get the wrong impression or ideas, and end up thinking you’re just being problematical.

Things changed when she left. I went thru all these years with things I couldn’t share, I couldn’t express, because there wasn’t any straightforward opinion or advice you could ever get. There wasn’t a time that I stopped thinking about her. Everywhere I go, everything I do reminds me of her. But I keep telling myself, to let go. Eventually I got back on track and accept the fact that she had left. There wasn’t anything I could do, except to move on. I gave up on relationships, I gave up on love, and I tried to stay away from things that could get you into one. I guess that’s the phase of life everyone wouldn’t want to go thru. Where do I go from here? I was ready to quit…

Till one fine day, I met a certain someone. She touched my soul and inspired me with her own unique ways. She spoke the truth and somehow lit some sparks, and she made me build my faith in love. Little by little, she showed me that there is still hope, to believe in love.

I wish you could understand how much I appreciate your patience and understanding, your ability to be friendly without being scared, and the ability to let go without forgetting. All my memories with you have been sweet. We may have some few flirtatious weeks, but mind you, when they ended, I could feel this was a beginning of a beautiful friendship. Someone like you, I have confidence in placing my trust, likewise you can trust me…
