Love and Life: What’s Meant to be Won’t Necessarily be

“What’s meant to be will be.”

We’ve all heard it at least 50 times in our lives. What it fails to address is the hard work that goes into being “meant to be.”

Too many times people take “What’s meant to be will be” and use it as a way of putting off taking action for how they feel. They think that “Oh well if it’s meant to be then it will be” but it’s just not that simple. Something could be meant to be and never happen.

Just think about it like this- It may be meant to be that you eat tonight, then you get a great plate in front of you.

You’ve still gotta eat. If you don’t eat then that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t meant to be. It just means you didn’t do your part. There’s still action that has to be taken to link “what will be” to “What ultimately is.”

What that means is be bold, take chances. You’ve only got one life to live and an expiration date that you don’t know of- so go for the juggular at all times. I’m not saying to go crazy with it, but if there’s a person that you connect with and truly fall for then just go for it. Communicate and find out if you’re both going in the same direction then just go for it.

One of the best feelings is taking a chance and it working out for the best. Especially as it comes to asking somebody out or even just getting a phone number from an attractive stranger. I think Lil Wayne said it best when he said “Nobody gives you a chance, you have to take chances.” No one is just going to walk up to you and give you a chance when it comes to how you feel. You’ve got to go out and take the chance and make something happen sometimes. Because if you like most people believe that there’s “somebody for everybody” but you also believe that “what’s meant to be will be”, then how do you explain so many people going into old age never finding “The One?” Obviously that’s just not the case.

So to prevent yourself from being a stat of a person who’s had a chance and squandered it- go after what it is you want. Sit down with the one you care about and let out your true feelings. Because what’s meant to be may not necessarily be. It’s up to you to make it happen and act on feelings and or impulse.

Because if you don’t, you’ll just have a perfectly good plate of food sitting on your kitchen table, waiting for “what’s meant to be” to happen.
