When we meet the right person to love, when
we're at the right place at the right time,
that's chance.

When you meet someone you're attracted to,
that's not a choice. That's chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot
of couples who get together because of this) is
not a choice. That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards.
When will you take that infatuation, that crush,
that mind-blowing attraction to the next level?
That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down
and contemplate whether you want to make this
into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with his
faults, that's not a chance. That's choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter
what,that's choice.

Even if you know there are many people out there
who are more attractive, smarter, and richer
than
your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate
just the same, that's choice.

Infatuation, crushes, and attraction come to us
by chance.
But true love that lasts is truly a choice.
A choice that we make.

Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie
quote that I believe is so true about
this: "Fate
brings you together,
but it's still up to you to make it happen."

I believe that soulmates do exist, that there is
truly someone made for you. But it's still up
to
you to make the choice if you're going to do
something about it or not.

We may meet our soulmates by chance, but loving
and staying with our soulmate is still a choice
we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone
perfect to love,
BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person
perfectly.
