When we meet the right person to love,
when we're at the right place at the right time,
that's chance.
When you meet someone you're attracted to,
that's not a choice. That's chance.
Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot
of couples who get together because of this)
is not a choice. That's also a chance.
The difference is what will happen afterward.
When will you take that infatuation, that crush,
that mind-blowing attraction to the next level?
That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and
contemplate whether you want to make this into a
concrete relationship or just a fling.
If you decide to love a person, even with his
faults, that's not a chance. That's choice.
When you choose to be with a person, no
matter what, that's choice.
Even if you know there are many people out
there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer
than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your
mate just the same, that's choice.
Infatuation, crushes, and attraction come to
us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a
choice. A choice that we make.
Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie
quote that I believe is so true about this:
"Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to
make it happen."
I believe that soulmates do exist, that there is
truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you
to make the choice if you're going to do something
about it or not.
We may meet our soulmates by chance, but
loving and staying with our soulmate is still a
choice we have to make.
We came to the world not by finding someone
perfect to love, BUT to learn how to love an
imperfect person perfectly...
