FATE

What if you missed your fate?

Imagine:You have a memory of long ago when your eyes met with someone across the room in a busy café, that person seemed to look into your depths, was that a memory of a life that didn’t happen?Should you have acted upon that look? Would your life be like someone else’s if you had made choices in your past that were different? What if we didn’t pass up every single turn in the road, what if we didn’t pass up every new opportunity, what if we didn’t look away when we got “that look … what if we hadn’t missed that appointment, or took that job, or didn’t take the freeway … What if?

After seeing the movie “Changing Lanes”, you really look at life somewhat differently.Just a matter of five minutes can change your whole life, the path you were going and where you will end up. Or, it could just throw your life off of it’s axle for a day, a week or a year and then get back on track. Like a diversion of sorts?Or, it could go in reverse, totally spinning out of control.

Fate is your destiny. Can we change it or can we miss it completely?
If you think about it too much you can feel powerless.
It’s like coming out of the cold and feeling the chill leave your limbs, you can feel all of what “was” vaporizing …

Memories of a life that could have been, gone, vaporized because you missed your fate.
Do we control our destiny or not? Is fate a misconception for those out of control of their own destiny?

I will try not to be out of control, strong enough to stand up to my fate …

Here's a sigh to those who love me,
And a smile to those who hate;
And whatever sky's above me,
Here's a heart for every fate. Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
