Destiny

"Destiny is the bridge you build to the one you love."
-from 'My Sassy Girl'

Sweet. And true.

Most people tend to sit and wait for Destiny to come knocking on their doors. They say "If it's meant to be, it will be."
Well, yes. Destiny can come in many forms, and sometimes, they may have come and passed or may have been right in front of you the whole time, but if nothing has been done, and you continue to sit and wait for something to happen, it most probably will never happen.

Let's put it this way. In this context, 'Destiny' applies to everything else besides just love. If you want and long for something so badly, you will be working hard towards getting it. Moreover, if Destiny (or an opportunity) has already presented itself right in front of you and you know that it is right, will you let it slip through your fingers?

I watched the original Korean version of My Sassy Girl before, but did not quite get it. When I watched the American version last night, I thought it was beautiful. It is simply worth watching.

So, it is all a matter of Choice. You either create your own Destiny or just leave it to what we like to call Fate to do the job.

I do believe everything happens for a reason, but I love to choose to create my own Destiny. For that, I am grateful of what life has brought unto me and shaped me into today. :)
