So I’ve been pondering the question, “Do I bring my Karma\/God Action\/Fate directly to me?”<\/span><\/p>\n

And I realize a few things.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I probably did.\u00a0 But did I get what I wished for?\u00a0 No.\u00a0\u00a0 Did I get a possible version of what I wished for.\u00a0 Yes, oh yes.\u00a0 I believe all of us do bring to ourselves that which we want but do we see it?\u00a0 And most importantly, do we seize it.<\/span><\/p>\n

See, fate may not have exactly what we want handy… but he’s got something close?\u00a0 Or maybe fate knows what we need is not the EXACT thing we want but a mixture of other things that if we seized it might even be better.\u00a0\u00a0 Shit, I sound as vague as\u00a0a Tarot Deck or an Astrology reading!\u00a0 But try to follow anyways.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if fate brings us people or events or situations, it’s what we do with what fate brings us that is important.\u00a0 If we don’t speak or act or shy away from it… then fate may think we didn’t really want it.\u00a0 Will it believe us after a while \u00a0if we always cry “wolf” like that?\u00a0 Perhaps not… but then again, perhaps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Am I justifying my “seize the moment” attitude.\u00a0 Hmmm, possibly.\u00a0 But I’ve found it brings me enjoyment to talk to strangers and new people and to do unusual and new things.\u00a0 It adds spice to my daily grind and has become something I now look forward to.\u00a0\u00a0 And I think I spread a little joy to those I randomly talk to and joke with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I’ll wish on stars and play with possible futures in my head and see what spice Fate wants to bring to my life.\u00a0 And I’ll share my joy in meeting new people by meeting new people and making them smile.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s what I do… I’m an entertainer.\u00a0 And Fate has given me the bold spirit to jump into the opportunities it brings me.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then I’ll blog it.\u00a0 Spreading even more of the joy!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
