When we meet the right person to love when we're 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 a chance.
The difference is what happens afterwards. 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 contemplate
whether you
want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If
you
decide to love a person, even with his/her faults, that's not a
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
lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.
Regarding soul mates, 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 soul mates 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 soul mates by chance,
but
loving and staying with our soul mate is still a choice we have to
make.
We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love ... BUT
to
learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly!
There's a miracle called friendship that dwells within the heart,
and you
don't know how it happens or where it gets its starts, but the
happiness
it brings you always gives a special lift, and you realize that
friendship
is God's most precious gift
Bottom line..... we're all given the chance to make a choice~
