Write your book

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Such beautiful words. And its so true. your life is your book and u write it. u take responsibility for all the twists and turns in ur story.

Fate is often associated with the divine. some say fate is what god has decided for us and has in store for us. it is always looked at as if its something out of one's control. as if it has already been written.

but if you think about it, you always have a choice in life. there are always two or more paths to choose to from. that choice is made solely by you. that choice comes about because of the person that you are, your essence. and it is that choice that determines your future in the direction you chose. hence fate is, afterall, in your hands, in the choices that you make and the actions that follow.

some would like to agree that our very choice is controlled by a greater force. that god makes us decide things the way we do. i believe god would never lead me to make a wrong decision. God has given us certain codes of conduct, how we should live our lives. its up to us to follow it and make our own righteous decisions.

some would say that we often dont even think before we act, that our actions are often senseless, impulsive. well, we are humans, creatures meant to make mistakes. but meant to learn from them as well.
