Chance or Choice?

This is a forwarded email that I received some time back. Have kept it ever since as it makes total sense:

When we meet the right person to love when we’re at the right place at the right time, that’s chance. When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice. That’s chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there’s a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That’s also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level ? That’s when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that’s not a chance. That’s choice. When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that’s choice.

Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s choice.

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make. Regarding soul mates, there’s a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this: Fate brings you together, but it’s still up to you to make it happen.

I do believe that soul mates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it’s still up to you to make the choice if you’re going to do something about it or not. We may meet our soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with our soul mate is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love… BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly…

The Power of The Human Mind!

It is amazing! Try reading the below;

the genesis

Blogging seems like a personal diary with a twist, instead of keeping it private and in the closet, we can choose to open it up to the public. What would interest others (friends alike) to actually take time to read what I call my rants and ramblings?

Well I figured it cud be kinda easy, ya know, why dun I typed it all out? When a person wants to know I'd point the fella to the blog? Kinda makes sense dun it?

Well so I decided to give it a shot and off I went googling a blog site. Hey blogger.com kinda integrates kinda seamlessly to my gmail account. All the merrier!

Every journey begins with?
