Is it a Choice or a Chance ? ( Author unknown )
When you meet the right person to love , you are at the right place at the right time . That is a chance .
When you meet someone you are attracted to , that is not a choice . That is a chance .
Being caught up in the moment ( and there are many couples who get together like this ) is not a choice . That is also a chance .
The difference is what happens afterward . When will you take that infatuation , that crush , that mind-blowing attraction to the next level ?
This is when sanity kicks in ; you sit down and contemplate on 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 is not a chance . That is a choice .
When you choose to be with a person , no matter what , that is a choice .
Although you know there are many people out there who are more attractive , smarter , and richer than your mate is , and yet you decide to love your mate just the same , that is a choice .
Infatuations , crushes , and attractions come to us by chance . However , true love that lasts is truly a choice , a choice that we make .
Regarding soul mates , there is a beautiful movie quote , which I believe is so true : “ Fate brings you together , but it ’ s still up to you to make it happen .” relationships : verbal and non-verbal communication . As Love Empowers people , many times , the non-verbal expressions speak louder than the verbal ones .
I realize that everyone ’ s life experiences are different , and we can ’ t change memories . However , we can certainly create the future we want by making conscious choices about love today . Since we are still on the cusp of the new year , its energy allows us to look at the various people in our lives , including ourselves , our neighborhood , and our community , through the lens of Love . Whatever you see , if it is not the beautiful vision you like , you can change and refine it to the masterpiece you envision as you cherish every moment .
Let us also remind ourselves that whether it is family love , self-love , partnership , or friendship love , “ Passion is When the Heart Creates and the Mind Formulates !”
I am delighted that our expert contributors for this month ’ s edition share their personal experiences and offer insights on how love and choices can pave the way to the “ Beautiful New You ” in Leaving a Legacy of Love for others to enjoy , benefit from , and follow !
I believe soul mates do exist , that there is truly someone created for everyone . However , it is still up to us to make the choice if we are going to do something about it or not .
We may meet our soul mate by chance , but loving and staying with our soul mate is still a choice we have to make .
Our challenge in this world is not finding someone perfect to love , but rather to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly !
... have Faith , have Hope , and most importantly — have the greatest of all — have Love .
