I imagine when we look into our hearts…when we probe the corners of our soul…we’ll find moment in our life…over which we have no control. Moments that help shape the person we daily come to be…moments left entirely in the hands of destiny. For all those skeptics out there who totally disagree….remember…we didn’t choose to be born…we didn’t choose our family. Although we are, in part, influenced by our fate…our destiny…we also get to make choices as to the kind of person we want to be. If we’re free to make these kind of choices…these choices I’m thinking of…then I hope it is my destiny that I shall always be choosing love. Yes, if I’m free to choose the kind of person who I want to be…then I choose love and kindness…love and compassion…love and generosity. I choose love and happiness…love and acceptance…love for all the beauty surrounding me…I choose love fore every creature on Earth…love for our one big family. I may not control ever aspect of my life but at least I can take pride…knowing destiny is a lot easier to handle…when love is by my side.
