Things happen for a reason.
How many times have you received this cliche advice before?
I, for one, have received quite a few for every heart-wrenching, tear-stained event in my life. And yes, I believe in it.
But it wasn't an easy belief for me. Everytime I recite this mantra to myself, I can't help but think that if I have done more, could I have not ended up the way I had? And then, I would end up asking myself if I should have given fate a little nudge on the elbow, a little push to prevent myself from being in the shit that I am.
Because as I believe in "things happen for a reason" I also believe in "you have to give fate a little push."
And so now, I am making a point (Can you believe it, I am actually making a point?).
If things happen for a reason then why do we have to push it? Clearly, do we have to push it?
If we give fate a little push, does it mean our fate will change? Can we change our fate with a little push?
If we fail and it is said that it happened for a reason, then if we push a little more and we actually succeeded, then does the reason for succeeding the same or different from failing? With a little push, can we change the reason for things to happen?
Is pushing our fate still part of our destiny or is it taking our destiny in our own hands?
I have my own views on the matter and most of the time, I argue with my own answers. But then again, I don't fully trust myself to answer these questions for I am not fully aware when the answers are results of my own rationalization or not.

ako, i believe that we can push our luck, but not our fate. parang for me kase it's something fixed, you don't get to change it. at some point you'll feel like something is your destiny, then biglang maiiba. that's not fate changing, that's just you wanting to believe you're in for something nice.
ergo, matagal ko nang tinanggap na cruel ang fate sakin. hehehehe!
my 2-cents worth :) profound ka ata ngayon ateh!
resulta yan ng pagkakape ko ng 1:00am kaya di makatulog hanggang 'round 6am kahit masakit na mata ko sa pagbabasa ng ebook. haha
ako naman kasi, the way i see it now, I can change how things happen right now. But at the end of the day, things will end up the way it should.
So parang ganito lang yan: lasingin ko man ang super hot guy or pikutin siya para maging kami, pero kung destined na bading talaga siya, wala ako magagawa. hahaha.
I believe in the saying, "You can only do so much."
Feeling ko, there are certain things that we can control pero there are things that are really beyond us.
You can only do so much. Yan yung masakit e. Yung kahit ipush mo na lahat, isugal mo na kaluluwa mo, things won't change.
