Fate, also called Destiny, Luck or Star, does not make home visits, if we want to find it we have to go out and find it, because even if we think that reality is there to magically satisfy our desires, our aspirations. it will only come true when we work to achieve them. Still, sometimes it may not be enough.
I dare say that the best moments of our lives are usually those in which we take the reins, are moments when we act according to our decisions and somehow gain control of our destiny, because instead of praying to the universe or waiting for the planets. To align ourselves, we must consider what we want to achieve and, once we have it clearly defined, work to follow the path of our goals.
“Find a destiny, what you want, because we never know when death will come. “- Anonymous-
We create fate with every step we take and every choice we make, however, many people believe it simply by letting themselves go and wanting something to happen, everything will come true, but from my point of view that is not true. The only way to get what we want is to fight for it.
On the other hand, some people think that each person comes into this world with a well-defined destiny, according to this idea we all have something to do, a message to deliver or a job to finish, in this way we would not be here by chance, there would be a purpose for our existence.
However, what we believe of our end is not so important, because each of us has its own destiny, which is created under the thread of our decisions, the only imperative is to follow it, fight for it, accept it. we must do what we deem right at every moment of our lives.
“You have to trust something: your instincts, your life, your karma, anything. This perspective has never let me down and has it made a difference in my life? -Steve Jobs-“
Finally, we will leave a story that discusses how fate can or may not influence our lives. We hope you enjoy it.
David was a very pious and attentive man. A devout and believing Jew. One night, in his sleep, an angel appeared in his dreams.
“David,” said the angel. I come from heaven to grant you a wish, God decided to reward him and sent me this message, you can ask for whatever you want and when you wake up they will answer you, when you wake up you will remember everything that happened and you will know that it is not a product of your mind. Then ask. What do you want the most?
David thought for a moment and then recalled that there was a problem chasing him lately, it was his own death. Encouraged by the angel, he asked the following:
“I want you to tell me exactly the day and time of my death. After hearing this, the angel seemed even paler and hesitated.
“I don’t know if I can tell you that
“You told me I could ask for anything I wanted. Well, that’s what I want.
“I also said it was a prize and if I tell you what you’re asking me, will you live unhappy counting the days until the end of your life?” The angel said. It wouldn’t be a reward, it would be a punishment. Choose something else
David thinks and thinks. But sometimes, when the idea of death takes over our minds, it’s hard to eradicate.
? No problem, tell me the day I die
The angel realized that there was nothing he could do to get this idea out of his head and that if he did not respond, he would not fulfill his mission, which was to reward David, for which he reluctantly accepted.
-As a good man and good Jew, you will have the honor of being among the chosen ones who die on the most holy day of the week. You’ll die on a Saturday.
That said, the angel said goodbye. David slept soundly until the next morning.
As he awoke, as the angel had anticipated, he had a vivid memory of what he had dreamed of; Besides, he was flattered to be the only man who knew beforehand that he would die on a Saturday.
In the following days, everything went well, at least until Friday. As he prepared for Saturday’s arrival, David began shaking.
Wasn’t that the reason the angel showed up at the time?What would it be like to go to the temple on the last day of your life?Since he was going to die, he’d rather stay home. David realized he made a mistake. I knew something I preferred not to know, because it only hurt and worried those who liked it.
The man finally thought he had found the solution. I read the Torá every Friday night and didn’t stop until the first star of the morning, because no one can die reading the Jewish holy book.
And so it was. Two or three months passed and on a Saturday morning, while David read the sacred book of the Torá over and over again, he heard someone’s voice screaming in despair:
-Fire!Fire! The house is on fire. Come out, is there a fire?
It was Saturday and he remembered the angel’s message, yet he also recalled that the Zohar claimed that as long as someone read the Torá, he would be safe, and to convince himself he repeated:
“Nothing can happen to me, I read the Torá.
But the voices on the street were asking, “Do you say anything about the attic, you hear me?Get out now, so it might be too late!
David shuddered. This happened because he wanted to save himself, because he was trying to deceive fate, he was finally going to die a victim of his escape attempt.
“Maybe it’s not my time yet?” finally said. And closing the book of the Torá, he looked at the ladder confirming that the fire had not yet reached there. David came down trying to avoid certain death. He ran downstairs, taking two steps at once. that’s how he tripped and rolled down the stairs, banging his neck against the back of his head.
David died instantly that Saturday, not knowing that the fire was in the main house and that he had never come home, his concern for fate caused him to die in advance.
