Growing up as a child, we all have this amazing sweet dreams in our heart, some fantasy we adore and cherish, that some day we will get to live our imagination, the beauty of our child dreams lies in this possibilities, but then as we all call it. "A dream" few years later we woke up from this nightmare to face Life squarely, just to realise how much time had passed behind us...
A colleague of mine walked up towards me today and then I remember his words to me-this day we were having a random chat and he told me of how he wanted to always become a soldier, did all he could to, but couldn't make it a reality so he dashed that dream, today while I shock hands with him remembering this words, I was casually teasing him of how he would have made a fine soldier for a man of his physique and stature .. he just laughed and told me something are not fated to be....
While I argue this statement that it isn't true to some extend cause we still have a major role to play in it, leaving it all to the hands of fate means living it all to chance
tho there are still unforseen circumstances and situations that might sprang up along the way that will cause us a detour, like most childhood dreams we wish so earnestly to become but then unfavorable circumstances in one way or another hinder us, do we say that it's fate?, maybe we were not meant to go that path, or maybe fate had a better idea?....
=============================
My point is, do we leave life to fate? Should we not thrive to become, even tho the odds are against us, even tho things are not adding up can we stand up on our feet and say fate is not having its way, my destiny is in my hands and I will see to it....
A friend of mine once said that I will give my best in whatever I'm doing, so if I fail I can beat my chest and say I did my best and be justified of that statement, honestly speaking this was what I believe, that If I put in all my best in a thing I will definitely have it and I've proven this statement in many instances.
fate or destiny?
Both are predetermined course of event or circumstances beyond our control, however I feel fate is life chances on us, like whats already predetermined before time to happen interwoven as destiny but in either case we have a role to play...
What will it be for you, you can choose to let fate have it full course on your lives outcome or you can choose to take over the wheel and drive your way through to that destination
The Battle is tough
I use to imagine those i see now, and I asked myself what happened to them back in Their prime, what were they actually doing with their time, I wish I can go closer to ask them about their goals, their ambition, their prospects for life, what happened along the way cause....
=============================
when life happens
This is usually the kind of reply you will get, and I really believe strongly that no body is a fool in life, somehow everyone's wise in his own eyes and knows what's best, but however circumstances and situations can turn the twist around and place them were they ought not to be.
life can actually humble a person to the barest minimum, I have seen the very wealthy sat and shook hands with kings and nobles and in a twist of time that same person is barely surviving so also I have seen the poor rise to seat with princes and nobles this is what life presents.
however while we believe strongly for the very best of all possible outcome we've got a part to play and to play our cards well so as not to fall victim of circumstances.
