I woke up on my usual Friday morning, determined to spend it watching my so called Grey's Anatomy new episode. And it always amazing when you watch something and it triggers something deep with in! You relate it to it... and you often feel like it answered something that you've always searched for an answer for.
Now I know... it sounds like I'm a medical drama sound philosophical! I'm not!
Basically this episode, episode 8x13 called "If, Then," (whether you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy or not) is about the what/if scenarios we create in our minds. If these things were to happen, how would our lives turned out? What if I had a different family? Fell in love with another guy? Had a different best friend? Or simply had a different life?
So this episode basically shows you how these characters' lives would've been IF thing were different!
And like anyone else in the world, we got into these story-lines, assuming things can be different or will be different... BUT in the end of the day your DESTINY always kicks in. Regardless how different the story-line is... things will end up as planned for you.
In my personal life, I'm a pro at creating What/If scenarios... I almost always wonder what if I acted differently? Said something differently? Been more patient? Been less caring? Kept my thoughts for my self?Had better temper? Was less emotional? Was more outgoing? Had a different lifestyle? Lived elsewhere? And the list goes on....
But apparently... what's meant to happen always happens.... the ending is the same. No matter how much we try to change it around.... Regardless of the what/if situations we create your destiny in the end will prevail.... if something was meant to end well it will and if something was meant to go wrong it would.... If you're meant to end up with some one, you will and if someone is meant to hurt you, he/she will. If you were destined to get the job, you will and if you were destined to be fun and charming you will.
So may be rather than creating these live time illusions that we immerse ourselves in we make the best of the lives we have... because what/ifs almost never happens unless it was determined to happen anyways!
