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 (and there's a lot of
couples who get together because of this)
is not a choice. That's also a CHANCE.

The difference is what happens afterward. 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 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 soulmates, 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 soulmates do exist. That there
is truly someone made 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 OUR SOULMATES BY CHANCE,
BUT . . . LOVING AND STAYING WITH
OUR SOULMATES IS STILL A CHOICE
WE HAVE TO MAKE.
