Fate / Destiny

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Yes I believe I do but not in a dramatic, everything-is-written in the stars way but more so in a steady, reassuring way. I have always lived by the saying:

“What’s for you, won’t pass you.”

If it is meant for you, the job, the opportunity, the person, it won’t disappear because of one setback. It won’t require you to beg, force, or lose yourself trying to hold onto it…and if it does pass you by then it probably wasn’t meant for you anyway.

That belief has given me peace more than anything else. Missed chances don’t punch as hard when you trust that the right ones will land. Nevertheless, you still have to show up and you still have to try, but what’s aligned for you will stay.
