"Fate is what happens to us when luck gets tired of waiting"...................... Hmmm, interesting... I read this line in the book "Shantaram" (an awesome book, by the way!!)
I feel it basically means that all throughout our lives we are presented with opportunities... the only catch being that we have to recognise and then grab these opportunities... once that is done, luck is the reward..... And then for those poor souls who are not able to identify these chances.... fate is what happens..... So this basically means that everyone has a basic layout of their life pre-planned...their general fate is fixed and somewhat final at the time of our birth... but, based on the opportunities we grab, we, ourselves, have the power to change it and make it even better....
But the biggest problem here is the recognising of opportunities and once that is done, grabbing them................
How can we recognise these opportunities???? I think our only aide for this is our own intuition or gut instinct or even sixth sense...... something, in our conscience... that tells us to do or not do something...... Another contributing factor could be our own confidence or fearlessness or that inner push that prompts us to take that particular step which has been pointed out by our inner self........ Anyone who lacks either of the two is most often the one who misses out on the great chances offered by life....... and then ends up "kosoing his phooti kismat"......
"Fate is what happens to us when luck gets tired of waiting"......interesting, very very interesting...............................
Hmmmm..... this seems like a good arguement to make when my mother tries to go to another pandit or fortune-teller or palm reader or whoever.... hehehe what say??
