If It's Meant To Be, It Will Be

 

I've witnessed up front several people WHO were so focused to win the top LOTTO prizes so much so that, everyday they would buy and bet.  And as the months and years went through, his LOTTO betting just seemed to escalate as well.  Similarly, I came to know someone WHO got so focused in that raffle promo of a Mercedes Benz car if you'll buy the telco's prepaid load cards.  He ended up splurging in buying that telco's prepaid load cards EVEN IF he had little need for it, if at all.  Until he had to loan for small amounts to defray his excessive purchases of that telco's prepared load cards.  You might ask me.  DID he win that Mercedes Benz car?  DID he win a major LOTTO prize📗📙📘

Swinging over to relationships, we have seen couples whose relationships are hitting rough patches until things exacerbate BUT either protagonist WON'T let go of the other.  BUT dude, if you love something, set it free.  That's borrowing the usual advice from counsellors.  True, that idea of letting something go that you love may sound noble and self-sacrificing BUT HOW does it actually play out in the real world?  Does the adage hold up OR is it just a way of trying to make heartbreaks sound meaningful and poetic?  In a bigger scheme of things, we are told and reminded that the universe has plans for you, for us✅✅✅

Having said that, we DON'T imply that letting go of things ISN'T hard.  IT IS, in fact and in truth.  We become attached to the people in our lives and permitting them to fly can indeed be damn scary.  It is imperative to remember that we can keep caring about them BUT we CAN'T try to control their choices [and eventual decisions especially if we are oblivious of such].  This is where PERFECTION comes into play as well.  And true, TRUST is a big part of releasing PERFECTION and it's TRUST in our own self that life is happening to you and for you.  PERFECTION says 'YOU HAVE TO FORCE, MANAGE and CONTROL YOUR LIFE TO BE HAPPY'💥💥💥

IMPERFECTION tells us that 'YOU DON''T HAVE TO FORCE WHAT'S MEANT FOR YOU'.  You can be yourself and then everything will fall into place just as it should.  You can then be happy.  In the NOT so distant past, PERFECTION, FORCE and CONTROL used to be my 'jam'.  I thought I needed to be PERFECT for things to go 'MY WAY'.  Lo and behold, it turns out that 'MY WAY' ISN'T always WHAT's best for me even in the long haul. I wanted to avoid messing up or mis-stepping so I used PERFECTION to try and control the outcome.  BUT the thing is, IF IT'S MEANT FOR YOU, you CAN'T mess it up.  That goes for relationships, jobs, opportunities, anything and everything in fact💚💛💜

Our takeaway:  In our various pursuits in life, as we aim to achieve something and we pour it out and still fail, expectedly, frustration creeps in.  So, we could get caught up in that vicious cycle of trying and trying our best [WHICH is perfectly fine].  BUT if we keep falling flat on our face, dude, it's time for us to face the mirror and remind our own selves that IF IT'S MEANT TO BE, IT WILL BE.  Otherwise, you could have reached that reckoning point WHERE a forked road needs you to choose and decide between 2 or 3 ways to go.  It just can't be a single-track on an end-to-end basis.  Never forget that you got a foot brake and even a handbrake to pull up, IF and WHEN needed😔😔😔
