Chance or Choice?
When we meet the right person to love when we're at the right place at the right
time, that's chance.

When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's not a choice, that's chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of couples who get together
because of this)is not a choice.That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. Will you take that infatuation,that
crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That's when all sanity
goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to turn this into a
concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance.
That's choice. When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's
choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more
attractive, smarter, cuter and richer than him or her, and yet, you decide to
love them just the same, that's choice. Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes
to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we
make. There's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this:
"Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen." We came
to the world not to find someone perfect to love..... BUT to learn how to love
an imperfect person perfectly...
