Do You Believe in Fate?

It's important to have dreams and set goals for yourself, but you also need to be able to just sit back and let things happen to you. Sometimes we get so caught up in our pursuit of happiness that we end up missing the biggest opportunities in our lives.

Take Angela Lindvall, for example. It was her sister who wanted to be a model, so they went to "modeling school" just for fun. As part of the curriculum, the girls put on a fashion show—you know, the kind that ends with someone getting signed to an agency. Angela waited in excitement to see who would win, and was stunned to hear her name called. Sixteen years later, Angela is still at it and one of the most recognized models today.

Had she not shrugged her shoulders and went along with her sister's idea who knows where she'd be right now. Angela firmly believes that the universe has a plan for everyone—you just have to open yourself up to it and allow it to happen.

When was the last time you let something happen to you?

    Most of the time I feel like I'm striving for something, working hard to get somewhere but my current relationship? Not so much. Meeting him was definitely someone's plan, the odds of it working it out as incredibly well as it has, thank god :)
