chance or choice.

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 is not a choice. That's also a
chance.
The difference is what happens afterwards.
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/her
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, attraction comes to us by
chance. But true love that
lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.
Regarding soul mates, 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 do believe that soul mates do exist. That there
is truly someone made
or 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 soul
mates by chance, but
loving and staying with our soul mate 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!
