We are always free to choose… but are we free enough to find?

Destiny.

“The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny.”

After visiting some friends in Germany, this wisdom becomes so obvious. I met Guido for the first time in Thailand a couple of years ago. He wrote this quote in my diary. Since then this wisdom was a guidance in my life. While visiting him in Bonn, I saw he got the quote from this poster hanging on his wall. The quote together with the beauty pic, make me even better understand.

In Berlin, Damaris, my lovely host, gave me the song. I just love the calm songs from Live and while hearing this one, things become more clear.

We create our own life. Our destiny does not depend on outer chances we just follow. It depends on the choices we make deep inside. It is not easy to let go of chances which look attractive. But if they are not 100% in line with our inner knowing, they are leading to nothing but suffering.

We like our daily environment, even if we feel stuck. Because we know it and it feels familiar. We are afraid to let go. Let go of the stuckness, the numbness.

All we have to do, is to choose. We are free. Free to choose the life we want.

Very appropriate in my own life. I am in a phase of choosing. The choices I make now, will create my life in the future. That’s why I wish myself clarity. Clarity but also braveness to bring my choices to reality. That means that I wanna be free enough to find as well. Brave enough to let go of the past. To be free to do what is necessary to be done.

Ans

even now
the world is bleedin’
but feelin’ just fine
all numb in our castle
we’re always free to choose
never free enough to find

I wish somethin’ would break
cause we’re runnin’ out of time
