REFLECTION

When I was in Perth, I came upon a sign that says "Destiny is not a matter of Chance, it is a matter of Choice" and it provoked a lot of thoughts in me.

I have always believe we have an option in any matter, and it irritates me a lot to hear people telling me they have 'no choice' or they were 'forced into it'. Yet I found myself making a wish at the wishing well in Perth and that's when I realise there are also moments where I felt helpless and lost over what come may.

And by chance, in my first practice after coming back from Perth, my teacher spoke about fate and intention, viewing all turn of events as subtle intentions within oneself combined with conscious actions, and leaving no chance to fate. He made me wonder again.

Facing two dilemmas right now, I am tossed and torn between pursing and giving up, hanging in there or letting go. Sometimes there is a fine line drawn between embracing change and indulging in unrealistic pursuits. And who but myself can decide which is what. My favorite mentor said - only things that are dead are secured, and anything that is alive comes with insecurity, and it totally make sense. So, to be sure but dead or to be alive but at risk?

There is a saying 'Everything comes and goes like a breeze - enjoy it while its there. Never look back because the next breeze will come' I am not sure if I am waiting for a sign or just flowing through life right now. But I know very soon, I'll know what to do.
