I had a mind-blowing epiphany today (what I called a AHA-OMG moment). The mind-blowing epiphany I had was the revelation that my destiny (or journey in life) is predetermined by the Universe (or by God - the big force).
[This may be my last phase of sanity - before I go completely crazy - by society expectations]
The revelation is not a new concept. It was foreshadowed by a friend's tale of a visit to a Chinese fortune-teller. According to the Chinese fortune-teller, the life path is predetermined. Every being has a unique destiny. No two beings enter the Universe at the same moment and place, therefore no two beings have identical journeys. When she first told me about it, I didn't give it much thought.
I finally understood it all as a result of the events that unfolded today. I had been working on starting a special project for the last few weeks with much frustrations and a heck lot of disappointments. No matter what I did or how much I effort I put into it - somehow there was always something that stalled the start of the project. After abandoning the project for a week (without a break from trying to figure it out), I made a last ditch effort today in attempts to get the project started. All seems to be heading in the right direction until the last second when the project was called off again. That's when I had my Aha-OMG moment - no matter what I do, I was not destined to work on this special project. The great force (i.e. the Universe or God) is preventing my involvement in this special project. The reason the opportunity came into my life (but not being part of it - which seems very pointless at first) is that this was to reinforce the notion that my destiny is predetermined. Every time I stray away from the path, I was directed back by the great force.
The lesson that I learned is that my destiny is already mapped out for me the moment I entered the universe. Each time I tried to change my destiny I have experienced much frustrations and disappointments. Each time I went with the flow I have experienced ease and effortlessness.
What does this all mean? Does it mean that since my destiny is predetermined, I am just going to do nothing and give up? Absolutely not. I may not be able to change my destiny but every thing that I do or choose to be conscious of is guided by the force. Not knowing what comes next makes every moment in life so much more exciting. I try to be more conscious and aware of my surroundings and sensations that I experience because these may foreshadow what's to come. The way to live is to trust my gut instincts - it is the Universe whispering to me what my next move is. I am excited to be pleasantly surprised by the unfolding of events in my destiny. I'll continue to let my faith grow and wear cute underwear.
