Quote of the day: 

 How many things have to happen to you before something occurs to you?
-Robert Frost



It might sound strange to think of fate as a gift, but isn't it? Unwrapped and tucked away in a safe place it is always at the back of the mind, like that nagging feeling you get that things will go wrong even when everything is going just fine. In life we spin our own yarn. We paint on our own blank canvas. We compose and sing our own song. We plant our own seeds. And deep down we yearn for acceptance, for integration, for growth and where we end up is where we always intended to be. Or maybe not?

The things that you believe you understand and the things you seek to grasp are two separate paths. To become lost, you must first acknowledge that you no longer know the correct way. With fate there's so much about it that is beyond our control. The people we come across, the experiences we gather, the opportunities we've lost, fate can both be generous and intolerable, with contrasting forms. You don't have a say on the past, but you can influence the present, discovering and shaping your world as you go along. This is all you. Dictating things with your actions, your will, and your resolve. Knowing your inner universe, cosmos and all.

What's the number one reason people go on holiday? Mainly to relieve stress, have a change of scenery and take in all the sights either alone, with a partner or loved ones-all valid reasons no doubt. So in essence you travel mostly for the experience and for the richness it brings into your heart and mind. Because if the purpose of life is to live then surely exploring the unfamiliar counts. Experience in turn leads to realism. Sometimes fate can be summed up in a few words, other times it's all a guess. Because you never know how something is until it happens to you, an invincible line waiting to be crossed.

In the same breath travelling is not embarked upon by all, as circumstances may vary. You either like it and can afford it, or you wish to but can't afford it. But to think that first you must journey through life to discover your true self, your vision will offer clarity when you search into your heart, through the dark corners, hidden chambers and pathways. Only then can you discover your better self. It's not the way you look, dress, or carry yourself. It's your inner being that whispers to you when your eyes are closed, knowing yourself is a never ending test of life.

From childhood to adulthood it would appear that most things in life, if not all is a test. Each day is a test of our abilities, emotions, courage, and experience. Some we fail, others we pass. There is no life book for dummies to help us navigate through the various storms at sea as we survive one shipwreck after the other, we live and learn.
