My seven years daughter came and told me lately “mom, I want
to join star academy when I grow up”. I responded saying “you have to work for
your dream”. Then suddenly it hit me and I asked myself,how many times our
dreams changed along the way?Every stage of our life sets its own
dreams and with time we evolve to a new path and challenge.
Our life is built up of many tiny details and various events
compiling to make a whole and to comprise the totality of our life. What I
am sure of is that fate plays a major role in our lives; but to what extent can
we, as human beings with aspirations and desires, accept the predetermined
events imposed by the super power as certain course of events that we cannot
control. Fate is inevitable and whatever we do we cannot change it.
However, we have our aspirations and we should try hard towards achieving
them. Trying our best would not necessarily ensure that we will achieve
the result we want because fate plays a role that we can not control.
However, what makes us satisfied with the end result, whether it falls within
our wishes or not, is that we have tried our best. We should not be
discouraged when events do not go our own way. We should be confident that
God’s choice is always the best. Some people colloquially refer to fate as
‘qismah’ which is also refers to the ‘Will of GOD’.Planning and working to
acquire what we want and achieve our dreams is essential, though many times our
dreams are not what is destined for us. As the above quote implies destiny
gives us things that are beyond our wishes, supposedly for the better. I cannot
deny that losing a dream is not an easy thing to go through and often makes us
feel discouraged. It needs lot of faith in God and acceptance of fate to
be able to continue in other paths. On personal basis, I have dreamt of and
planned for so many things in life which are completely different from what I
have achieved.However when I look deeply and analyze my life I would say that
God have worked out things best for me. This does not mean at all I was not
disappointed at the time and felt discouraged & defeated. But what is good
about going through these feelings is becoming stronger and learning that what
is destined will happen no matter what we do. We are in the summer time, so I
thought that it would be good to bring up this topic as we will all have an
opportunity for meditation and revisiting our thoughts and hopes. Enjoy
the summer holidays.
Destiny Grants us Our Wishes,but in it's
own way,in order to give us something beyond our wishes
