A Facebook friend lost her job and she of course is bummed. One of her friends posted a comment to this. They said that this has happened for a reason. Their excuse was that one door was closed so that a better one could open.
Please...
If there is a plan for our lives why are we able to make choices? If no matter what we choose we will end up at the finish line, then why do we bother. Hey if this were true I could just stay in bed and do nothing because there is a plan for me and my life and no matter what I do I will get there.
I'm outraged by the thought that there might be a plan for my life. I have been working hard to make the right choices. Those are the choices that will get me and my loved ones the most happiness in life. Now I hear that it doesn't matter what choices I make I'm going to end up wherever I'm "destined" to be.
NO! There is no plan, no such thing as fate. We are destined only by the choices we make. You make decisions that mean something. It matters whether you get out of bed in the morning. It matters if you eat or not. It matters whether you love or not. Your choices matter.
It is the choices we make that determine the direction that our life will go not some "grand plan". We make our dreams come true or not.
Something we do have to remember is the other people on this planet also make their own choices. Oftentimes their choices will affect us. This doesn't in any way mean that our lives are destined or ruled by fate. It is still a choice. When others make choices that affect us we have to make a choice on how we will react.
We just need to remember not to give up on our dreams and the choices that will get us there. If you run into a road block don't just sit there "having faith" that something better will come along. Make a choice, how are you going to get around the road block. So we can't take that road. There is always another way. If you have to take a step back to get a better view, that is okay. You will have more information to make a better choice.
The only finish line we are all "destined" to face is death. So why not make the best of it. Make the time you have here as happy as possible. Don't stress the "small stuff". Pray for help with the "big stuff", and have faith that God will help. Make the choices that will give you a happy life. That you will arrive at the end without regrets.
Laugh! Love! Live!
