Paths Of Fate

We all chase after destiny.

Paths Of Fate
http://beaudacious.com/taking-the-path-less-traveled/

My childhood was full of prophesies and the idea of following one’s destiny. I grew up alongside the ancient heroes of Greek mythology, fascinated by the stories and characters. Naturally today I still carry a flicker of hope that we are fated to find our purpose, much like Theseus escorted by his string in the labyrinth.

Destiny is the shopping list of life, for every soul born they are given quests to complete, one may go through different aisles to get they but in the end they have to buy something. We are powerless against the Fates. Although not all you do is for naught, for one’s fortune is not completely out of your control, fates can change and be rewritten but must always follow a path. If you decide to change, it will already be written into your life. The end result of one’s soul is already whispered by the universe and its secret will divulge itself to you in time. If you feel lost or uncertain know that you will find what you are looking for because destiny will lead you to it, do not fret about the small things for what is to come has already been decided. Fate is not a dictator of your life instead it is more like a guarantee that something will happen, that you are here for a reason. Not one person has ever been or will ever be unimportant. We are all here today for a reason, you are here for a reason. Sometimes the world can feel overwhelming, like its asking too much of you. It is terrifying to think that you alone must carry a purpose, it can be a burden but know that it is a task made for you and you alone. Just know that you can accomplish anything be it big or small.

We as human beings are creatures of creation, we create and destroy every second, our brains are a constant storm of ideas. We are made from clay but filled with

fire, our desires ignite our very being until we have no choice but to follow them. That is fate, it is what your soul itself craves. It is your passion that drives you to be who you are; to be the person you want to be. Destiny will not force you to conform to something that you don’t want to do, your fate is a part of you, it was written by the star that broke apart to fashion your spirit. One should never be forced to do something if they object and fate is not meant to force but to guide. It is a reassurance that you are here, alive and important. A final word of warning on fate: we cannot take it for granted. If we just accept life as it is with no ambition we will never continue to accomplish amazing feats of splendor, so as humans we must continue to try our best to and follow our path to greatness. Rest assured that wherever you are in life, you are just where you

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
