Life is a strange journey and in this journey we are sometimes brought to a cross-road. Which direction do we choose? left or right? Rather, what decision do we make?
Some believe in fate and other's believe in free-will, there are also people who believe in synchronicity - that fate and free-will are intertwined and make a destiny. Does it matter what you believe in when your standing on a cross-road? Yes, the concept of free-will gives the perception of freedom and security that if you don't like the decision you have made, you can always change it. On the other hand, the concept of fate gives you a relief that whatever will happen is planned for your own benefit. And when you believe in synchronicity, you can take refuge that fate will guide you to make decisions with your own free will for your own benefit. But that's all they do, they don't make the decision for you.
Besides, you can't leave everything to fate - because then you would be doing nothing. Neither can you believe in free will a 100% because things don't always go as planned. So what do you do when you are at a cross-road, when you have to make a decision?
The mind is but a dirty play, jumping from one end to the other. Seducing you to choose one and when you decide to choose it, it lures you to the other. They say once bitten, twice shy but the mind never stops playing its games and we never stop heeding it. We get caught up in these games so much that we fail to realize how shallow they make us with worry.
It is often said listen to your heart rather than your head because often your heart already knows what you want. And your intuition already knows what's going to happen. They say there is a difference between the head and the heart's voice and when you are calm you can differentiate between them. But how do you differentiate between it when your mind is in a turmoil?
I close my eyes and say "what does my head think about ......" and then take a break and say "what does my heart say about...." and I get my answers and hopefully you shall get yours as well.
But how do we really know that's what our hearts really want? What if its the wrong decision? Well, once you've made a decision trust synchronicity, fate, destiny, free-will to make it work for you. If it's not meant to be, it won't happen. If it is, it will. If it goes well, you have a success. If it goes wrong, you have lesson.
We always learn from everything in life whether we realize it or not. And these cross-roads are blessings in disguise as little obstacles. They can only help you grow wiser. So accept that you have a choice, but also accept that you can't control everything every time.
