Like everything is decided and
you just have to go through
the motions and life will anyway do their bit
How does that make you feel?
Maybe you believe in free will,
that you have a choice and
a mind which can choose
what you should do
Eg
even if destiny has brought
in front of you vanilla flavour,
you still choose tender coconut flavour
Sometimes believing in destiny helps you
to cope with the immense, crushing loss you may experience
eg “sir, we have run out of
tender coconut flavour,
try passion fruit flavour” and
you say “life sucks, it happens”
and you move on
Telling oneself
everything is destiny
eventually makes one powerless
Worse it makes you shirk responsibility
for your actions and definitely for your responses
Pain and obstacles are inevitable
We don’t have to make
a cool meme or a cosmic story
out of it every time
Then what do we do?
Here’s the answer
“The broader view we gain by stepping out
means learning to see yourself
as the chessboard,
filled with possibilities,
rather than as any one piece on the board,
confined to certain preordained moves”
Steven Hayes- founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Purpose of Life is to Live
in all its various dimensions
Embrace this mindset
with its unlimited possibilities
