CHANCE or CHOICE?

I was clearing off my Friendster account and came across blog postings I have uploaded in 2006... fast-forward to 5 years later and this posting has a whole new meaning to it but has given me the same butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling.... *sigh*

When we meet the right person to love, 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 (and there’s a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice, that’s also 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 then 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 faults, that’s not chance…that’s choice.
When you choose to be with a person no matter what, that’s choice.
Even if you know that 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, attractions come to us by chance. But true love that last are choices made. Regarding soulmates, there’s a beautiful movie
qoute that i believe is so true about this–

"I do believe that soulmates do exist. That there is truly someone mad

e for 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 people by chance, but loving and staying with them is still a choice we have to make. And by making that choice we have to make sure that no matter what we’re not going to regret it in time……"
