Realization

I realized something tonight: If it isn't meant to be then it will not happen. It is a shame that it took me this long to realize this simple fact. Everything that happens in our lives happens for a reason. Every decision that we regret was, in fact, the right decision for us at the time. If it was meant to be the other way, then it would have happened that way, therefore, we should not regret the decisions that we have made in the past. I know that I won't from now on! My example: I went to two different bars tonight and I saw the same beautiful girl at each bar. I wanted to talk to her, but I couldn't bring myself to. I couldn't believe it until I realized that the reason I could not bring myself to talk to her was because it was not meant to be. If it was, then I would have talked to her. It is simply remarkable how it feels that a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. From now on, the "what might have been" thoughts will be no more. I feel liberated!
