Life is fated. No, not exactly.

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

I believe in fate but I don’t think everything is destined. I would like to see it this way.

When I was born, I see a path in front of me. You stride on it with your dad and mum and you’re happily hopping along this path.

Somehow the older you grow, the more paths branch out along the way. The more you understand and go through, the more paths will be presented to you at random times.

I choose not to believe that life is FATED. I choose to think that the more knowledge we gain and the more people we meet, we will come to certain nodes in our lives where we will be presented with a crossroad. At this junction, you have a few paths that are presented to you. You DO have the right to make the decision as to which path to choose. You decide which path to take.

Here;s where the ‘fated’ part comes in. I believe whatever follows after you decide the path is somewhat fated.

You will walk along this ‘fated’ path until the next crossroad. At the next crossroad, you will see a new array of paths again awaiting for your decision. Whichever routes and paths you choose decides what will become of you at the end of the road.

Some paths may lead you back to a familiar path that you may have taken before. I have no regrets. I have no right to regret. Afterall, I chose the path myself. I just leave it to fate to decide what comes after each decision at each crossroad and make the best out of it.

I lost count of the number of crossroads in my life. I am now in another one but believe me, we are versatile creatures. Whichever path you chose, just keep walking straight. You will twist and contort yourself to suit the environment along the way. Past is a fact. The future is still a blank. Keep your head and spirit up and you will find yourself getting through it.

I am what I am because of the decisions I have made. I am what I am because of the experiences I have had along each path. Life is a wonderful journey filled with unexpected entries everyday. I am loving what it brings. What about you? If you’re not, you may want to walk to a crossroad and decide a new path to take? It’s your take. :)
Everyday when i wake up, I have to start making decisions instantly. I decide if I wanna be happy or sad. Believe me. If you chose to be happy, the path that follows is fated. Most of the time, you will really be happy. Not all paths are smooth. They’re fated anyway. Wake up to a new day and you’re good to go again.

Alas! Life is beautiful. Isn’t it? :)
