Let go and Let GOD
I have always been intrigued by the issue of Fate Vs Free Will. Is everything all predestined or that there is some higher power working out every details of my life?
But I guess I have come full circle on this issue. I used to grow up with this strong indoctrination that Life is predestined and to accept everything with grace. However at that tender age, it was too much for my bloated ego to accept that I'm powerless to shape and mould my life. I subscribe and endear myself to the concept that "We are the Masters of Our Fate"
However, life experieneces have taught me that sometimes, despite some of my best efforts, I'm unable to steer and direct my life to some acceptable outcome. Sure, for every failure, there's a gift(lesson) waiting for me to discover. But that is exactly the point. It was NOT meant to be. So I can try but the outcome has already been decided.
So where do I go from here if I'm powerless over my Life?
1. Accept with grace cos everything is happening in PERFECT order. I'm supposed to experience all that I'm experiencing in the exact same order that it is happenning.
2. Learn to really embrace from all the experiences(good and bad) and relish it. I have learnt that when I let go and let GOD, miracles do happen and that Life is not so tough after all. I become more at peace and able to enjoy my life to a higher degree than ever before.
3. Since I do not know the outcome of life, I might as well enjoy the process.
4.Nowadays I just do what feels right for me. The outcome is for GOD to decide, not me. Sure I have a preference for the outcome but I'm not so hung up anymore on the outcome in that a certain outcome has to happen for me to feel and be ok. I will be OK and can be OK with the outcome cos that is exactly the outcome that i need to find my life lessons.
5. I believe that life is a series of experiences (both good and bad) for me to experience to enrich my life. So no matter what I do or happens to me, I try to experienece the experience fully and not resist FATE and wish that things could be different. This is tough though cos I still wish sometimes that certain events do not happen the way it did. But you know what, I'm just a human being, not perfect.And the good news is that i expend less and less energy on resisting fate and more and more on finding how I can benefit from the situation. When Life hands me a lemon, I make Lemonade!
So I'm still travelling on this Life's journey and trying to soak in all the magical wonders that the world has to offer.
Cheers

"Predestination and [human] freedom were apparently identical. He could no longer see any meaning in the many arguments he had heard on this subject." - Dr Ransom in space trilogy "Perelandra"
"God willed the free will of men and angels in spite of His knowledge that it could lead in some cases to sin and thence to suffering: i.e., He thought freedom worth creating even at that price." C.S Lewis

Fate is your final destination in life while the free will is the path that the person chooses to take/travel to reach his fate. Some path are free and easy and other path is long and winding road. It depends on you. The fate is still the same whatever path you choose.
