From few days I am feeling a dilemma--what is more powerful-----your destiny or your will to tak eaction. Sometimes things go seem to go in wrong direstion, no matter what you keep doing.These days , I am feeling it so strongly that I was also questioning my marriage to my loving husband. Yesterday I was talking to my husband about it, He cleared my doubts, so I decided to give it atry. I will try to take some aspects of myself in my hands, ratehr tahn waiting for fate to take a positive turn in right direction at right time. Let us see what happens!!!
Old-dilemma, but new for me

From a recovered addict and alcoholic this thought I'd like to give you. I learned that ACCEPTANCE is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation-some fact of my life- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly as it is supposed to be at this moment. This is from our Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. I found peace after accepting this. Remember, what doesn't break us only makes us stronger and every situation in life is a learning experience. Seize the opportunity to learn, it will only point you in the right direction for tomorrow. Don't trust fate because if your mind isn't in the right place you will direct yourself down the wrong path.

I find that acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. I need to accept that everything is exactly as it should be at any given time. I am disturbed when some person, place, thing or situation is not well with me and i can find no peace until I accept it. What doesn't break us only makes us stronger and every situation is a learning experience. Learn from today for it will only point you in the right direction tomorrow.

I loved you'r reply to pdr2008 You are so right, I could'nt have put it any better. I put my bad habits into the hands of My Lord JESUS 4 YEARS AGO, and my Smoking and drinking was taken away at that very moment. I like myself now days. I am able to Grow, and find Peace in my HEART. Acceptance is the key,there is no fate.
Our destiny is written, but we can change the ways to get there...it only depend on us to believe or not...it's on our hands...don't give up...be strong...everybody have bad days...
