Fate.
What is it?
Some people might say its another name for coincidence.
Some might say its the works of heaven.
But how many coincidences can happen in your life?

Belle wanted to be a doctor.
Her results were good but she did not take the subjects that allowed her to go that path. She did not know.
She fought hard for it.
But the fact remains as it is.
She accepted it and wanted to be a teacher.
But in a twist of fate, she could not be one.
She cried.
Daddy told her she would find something else that she loves even more.
Because fate has its plans for her.
Something better than what she wanted.

One day, while browsing through the courses she could take.
She found something that seems interesting to her.
Not sure where it would lead her, she followed her gut feeling and took the plunge. Throughout the school years, with its ups and downs.
But she was happy.
When she graduated and found a job.
She realised she has found her dream job.
Something that everyone had always been striving for but could never reach.
But she got it.

It was not a highly paid job.
Nor it was easy to do.
In fact, it was tough.

But what is it that makes it so hard to achieve?
That everyone is looking for but could not get?

It is the passion and the love for it.
Doing something that you really loved.
It may seem really simple but it makes alot of difference.

As much as we undermine the powers of love, we cannot deny the fact that it is what keeps us going.
When you had a bad day at work, would you stop working at that moment?

Most people won't.
There are plenty of different reasons behind it.
For belle, it was the love of what she's doing, the love of her job.
But what about the rest?
Some do it for money, for they want to feed their family.
The love for their family keeps them going on.
Some do it because of responsibility, not wanting to pass on to others.
The love of others keeps them going.

Most of us do not realise that in alot of things we do, it is love that keeps us going.
That make us want to do it.

So if you do not believe in Fate, at least believe in love.
Think back on the times you did something even though you don't feel like it.
You may just find that you did it out of love.

It maybe a simple thing like going to see the doctor when you're sick.
It may seem that you're just going there to relieve yourself of the discomfort.
But you are doing it out of love.
The love of yourself.

When people do not love themselves anymore, they would not care if they are sick.
They would let themselves wilt away and die.


For me? I'm a believer of both.
Fate and love.
Fate that brought things together. Love that sustains things.
