Fate, Destiny or Choice..

Published on August 4, 2004 By Phoenixboi In Blogging

Im one of these people who live life mostly day by day, not really knowing what is around the corner or what is going to happen next. I suppose this makes life a little exciting for some. There is no routine in my life. Every week things are different, events turn around or certain events happen which change the direction of my life.

I guess this has happened since I became poz. Ive learnt to live life every day without having any great expectations on the future. So my life has been one great big adventure for me.

Along the way I have learnt some really great lessons and met some really amazing people who have inspired and helped my journey along the way.

The purpose of this blog however is to talk about careers.

It seems that in my life I have always been thrown into a career, and what I have always wanted to do has always been put on the back burner. What Ive always wanted to do is become a natural therapist specialising in herbal medicine. it seems though that everytime I step into learning it, there is always a diversion which throws me into something else. Does it mean that Im not meant to be doing that? or does it mean that these are the challenges placed before me so as to see what I really want out of a career?

Do I go with what my heart tells me or do I do what is necessary at the time in order to get by?

Is it fate? Is it destiny or is it choice?

If im not making sense I understand.. it makes sense to me.

There is an excellent book on the subject of Synchronicity that I think you should read. It is by Dieke Begg
and is titled "Synchronicity".

In this book she deals with the little coincidences and happenings in our lives that direct our actions and ultimately the outcome of our lives. Maybe things keep happening that prevent you from pursuing your educational goals because it is not the right time.

" Along the way I have learnt some really great lessons and met some really amazing people who have inspired and helped my journey along the way."

Maybe you would never have learned these lessons or met these people had you been in school or things had gone differently. Maybe everything happens for a reason, even if you can't see the reason right then.

Thanks psyche5297 this is exactly what I believe in as well, even though events in my life at the time have seemed very traumatic or that I have gone through some suffering I really believe that if it hadnt happened this way then I wouldnt have done the things I have done or met the people I have met, so soon.

Ill check the book out that you mentioned thanks!

Manopeace it is what I try to do always, and if I dont do it it comes around to smack me in the face. I seem to have an instant karma.

I believe that everything happens for a reason, even a flat tire. I have instant karme too.

Your dream sounds like a good one, it's something I'm very interested in. Maybe the time will be right soon.

I like to believe that everything happens for a reason....and that the lessons learned in the past help to make us the people we are today. Perhaps you were just not ready to go to school in the past, perhaps that was a lesson that the universe felt you needed to learn first.

As for karma....mine's been a little slow recently, but it's still in effect. That's cool with me...as long as it' still there!

Have you ever considered Oriental Medicine? That includes herbalisim as well as other treatments like acupuncture, acupressure etc. It's something I've alwas been interested in too. although I don' know if I want to make a career out of it!

Good luck in your endeavours - although I don' think you'll need it, I think you to be the kind of person who carves his own destiny....
