Hearing It From Someone Else

You already know it, but sometimes when you hear it from someone else, it validates what you have always known.

A friend initiated a chat on Facebook recently, a friend from school who I reconnected with a year or two ago. In the course of our conversation, we talked about how life surprises us sometimes when we least expect it. How when we decide to turn left, fate decides that we should go right instead. How when no matter how hard we try, the aspired outcome does not eventuate, just because 'the right time has not arrived yet'.

We try to control so many aspects of our lives, but so often, many are beyond our control. Sometimes, it is best to leave it to the stars. I am not advocating being complacent. Strive to achieve those aspirations and hopes yes, put myself in a positive frame of mind in order to see the signs yes, have faith yes, but more importantly, trust in fate too. You see, I already knew all this, but hearing it from another definitely makes it even more convincing. And one has to be convinced in order to believe. Thanks 'lurker'!
