ze chance or choice

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's 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 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, attraction comes to us by chance.
But true love that lasts is truly a choice.
A choice made by us.
Regarding soul mates, there's a beautiful movie quote that I believe
is so true: " Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen."
I believe that soul mates 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 soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with them 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...
