For the longest time, throughout all my younger years, I believed in fate, luck, chance, and destiny. I believed if I was good enough, waited patiently long enough and wished hard enough, whatever I desired or hoped for would magically appear …someday, somewhere, somehow…because it was my destiny. But both you and I know that is not how it really works. Neither closing your eyes tightly, crossing your fingers, nor hope alone make dreams happen; however, hope CAN be used to fuel the action to unleash the magic that moves the proverbial mountain.
Do I still believe in fate? No. I believe in making our own. I believe that whatever we focus our attention on will naturally draw nearer to us because we ACT in the direction towards it. So if you find yourself waiting around for the golden ticket, you just might be waiting a while. Life is for those who go out and get it.
Needless to say, I don’t wait around for life to happen TO me. I get inspired, grab the bull by the horns and hang on for the ride. I am back in the saddle baby! Not sure where you stand? Then ask yourself, are you the spectator or the rider? Are you living life or is life living you?
Do yourself a favor, get in the ring. The ride is worth the risk.
Hello Nicole,
ReplyDeleteWow 80 days... I feel like I've known you longer! I'm one of the biggest (not in stature..haha) fans of you and you're blog.
Once again I'm in agreement with you. It's not fate or coincidence we met. We both put our energy out in the universe to open and enrich our lives and in response we ended up finding like minded people in each other.
More about your topic today, you're absolutely right in that each of us is in complete control of our lives. No external force determines our outcome. We each can make our lives shaped the way we want.
I have Parkinson's, but I don't see myself as a sufferer. I'm a challenger and I'll be playing soccer this weekend! I won't let anything limit me, so I hope your readers take to heart what you wrote. It's not fate that I got Parkinson's. Rather an opportunity to share with the world my joy to live! I will change my circumstances, as you will yours and again, I hope your readers too!
