You Make Life Happen.

I'm a firm believer in fate.. destiny.. a plan that has been set forth in our lives.. and if we are attuned to it.. and can follow that path without resistance.. things will go much smoother for us... It might not be direction we always want... however it is a direction based on our choices.. sometimes that fate might get changed by our actions.. which leads to conflict in our lives... and then it causes so much more drama and conflict to try to get back on the path we were on.. Tough.. you made a choice.. now you have to ride out the consequences.. or go through hell to try to get back on the track you were on.  Not everyone can do that though.. some choices you make will close doors forever... and seal those suckers shut.. We think that we can atone for our mistakes.. but that's not always the case.. which is why most people should be more cautious when making important decisions.  Our path will sometimes lead us through pits of despair... through trials and turmoils.. and some of those are inevitable.. by trying to avoid those conflicts.. we many times will cause more and more conflicts in our life the longer we struggle against them.  I guess we are all spoiled.. we expect life to hand us stuff.. to do things for us.. we are conditioned this way by the very society we are brought up in today... a few years back, people would have to go out and struggle to make things happen.. but we just sit back and wait now.. and then complain about how things don't happen.. well.. no fate has dictated that if you are not going to get involved in your life.. then existing is the only option.  I try to balance my life out.. at one time I was using whatever excuse I could to avoid action.. and maybe I still have a degree of trying to blame my situation.. but those people who achieve happiness in life are there because of their struggle to get there.  Have you ever had a task that you dreaded doing.. and you put it off.. and put it off.. until it was just almost more than you could do..  but then you had to do it anyway... you worked hard to get through it.. when it would have been so much easier in the first place just to get it done... In any case, after you accomplish your task, the satisfaction is high.. You feel proud of yourself for getting it done.  This is the case with most of life's tasks.. don't put off things you know you want to do... because the longer you wait on those things.. the harder it will be to do them.. and then you may just become complacent enough not to warrant the extra effort.... and a missed opportunity will go away.  Do the best you can so that you can look in the mirror each night... or each morning.. and be proud of who you are.  Whether you want to admit it or not... you make life happen.
