Fate or L O V E?

Posted byandreatancratiPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

This is a thought provoking question/prompt.

On one hand maybe I do. Wasn’t Bobby Orr destined to play hockey? Or Whitney Houston to sing? Or Robin Williams to be a comedian ? Some people seem to be destined to be doctors or engineers or whatever. How else can we explain say, Elvis?

But then…

I can’t help wondering if we aren’t just born with talents or attributes, maybe into families who support or don’t support our abilities. Plenty of super talented people don’t go on to become well known or successful. Plenty of child prodigies fizzle out before they become adults.

What IS the magic component? What caused Michael Jordon to become Michael Jordon?

Could it have something to do with love and devotion and quite possibly a huge amount of passion for something? Maybe it has more to do with falling in love with what we are doing and doing it a lot because we love it, and less to do with just being good at it. Unless being good makes us love it all the more?

I hope it’s love…

  1. Perhaps we shape our destiny by making a decision to do something; failing to make a choice leaves us to fate. Where does love, devotion, and passion fit in? That, I suspect, is contained within your choice, should you make one. Nice post, Andrea.

  2. circumstances? it can’t just be talent, how many may have the talent to be the next Bobby Orr, but because of where they are, where they live, who surrounds them, they never have the chance to lace up?….the guitar player inside that may be the next Jimmy Page but needs to work building houses to support a family?…. I know that at one time the USSR would test and channel kids in directions that there aptitude exisited….but what if that hockey player wants to be a chef?….the other question though, if Jordan had taken in any other spot, would his dedication have gotten hm to the same place…
