Chances & Choices

When we meet the right person to love,
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 chance.

The difference is, what happens afterward?
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 then contemplate
whether you want to make this into a concrete
relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love the person, even with his
faults, that's not
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 last is truly a choice. A
choice that we make.

Regarding soulmates, 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 soulmates 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 soulmates by
chance, but loving and
staying with our soulmate is still a choice we
have to make.

"there's magic in believing..."

" . . . do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will worry about itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own.

After all, today is the tomorrow you worried
about yesterday.
