The Book of Destiny

I saw this quote from Dedo from last year on another blog, and it struck a chord with me.

"What would happen if you had a glance in to the book of destiny and found out that your Mr.Right.or soulmate lives 12.000 miles away,is a garbageman and has 9 kids ..."

Notwithstanding the 9 kids laugh , what would we do?

If we were told our soulmate , our One, whatever you want to call them, lived across the globe, would we take that leap? Make that move?

Or would we find excuses not to?
Using our work, our family, our lives, our health, our not liking flying, lack of resources, (add your own excuse here) to not go.


How far will we go, both physically and emotionally, for love?

Or maybe it isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.

Sorry, mollybaby.

I meant you as in all’ya’all, not ya’all or you particularly.
I agree with you about the not seeing the wood for the trees.
Sometimes we also even forget that it is wood (no pun intended) we are even looking for
You lost me after, “I agree with you . . . “ uh oh . . . I might be a bit aspergic when it comes to using some of these emojis things . . .
I'll try a non-aspergy sentence so laugh

I meant, sometimes we lose sight of what we were even looking for in the first place
“I think there are innumerable people in this huge world that we could be compatible and utterly happy with.“

You said this, MB. cheers laugh Your moniker and my name have the same initials. I believe this as well, but my appreciate for my friend didn’t reach the ?? forest level pun your referred to. That made me wonder if I should have clarified that my friend and I have a plutonic relationship. Collins dictionary includes a definition for soulmate so I agree that a friendship can have a deep and personal understanding . . .

“countable noun
A soulmate is someone with whom you share a close friendship and deep personal understanding.”

That might be a soulmate for lack of a better word.

Can a certain number of the “innumerable “ people exist in all’ya’alls life at the same time with different genders and levels of intimacy?
Dude, I think if there is such a thing as a soulmate, they are usually platonic friends rather than lovers.
@Tell me what exactly the word DESTINY means, Molly..

In my language, we have "TAKDIR" and "NASIB". We cannot change or choose our takdir, like cannot choose our skin color or when we're born. We can change or make our nasib, like making a living.

@Wen
cheers
I don't just sit. I do things and enjoy life while waiting for destiny. tongue
I don't see any reason to not go and meet someone could be best thing ever
Crazy, I'm with you there wine
Kal, to me, it would be the Nasib

For others, it would be Tikdar

But I believe we have control over a lot in our lives. We cannot control when and where we were born, but within reason we can control how we live and the choices we make.
Takdir, sorry laugh
JJ, that is a great attitude.
Anybody with it is more likely to find someone wine
Molly, I like personal space too. I will even go as far as I need personal space. But there again when I really like someone I like being in their company a lot. Which then becomes complex.

So finding that line of personal space can be a fine line to me.
Rach, I understand that totally laugh
A la Rob, a song to accompany this blog:


What is written in the book of destiny is a record of how our lives are mapped out for us (supposedly).

With this in mind, regardless of current circumstances eventually what is written will come to pass, as the book of destiny has no time frame or indicated dates, to this end, the lives of soulmates eventually combine.

I had a situation whereby I had a relationship with a previous girlfriend 32 years after we initially split.
Sol, that was amazing about your relationship thumbs up

It would make life much easier if we could get a sneak preview of the book mumbling
...my book of destiny would be hard to recognice, as the cover starts to wear out...

life is still one day at the time, even if some people don`t understand the meaning of this saying...

cool wine
Viking, it is true. Few people have reached that level of mindfulness, of living in the moment.
Biff, no escaping that mean man with the scythe
I prefer him to be 1200 ft away and have 9 flower beds.......grin
@Molly
If Destiny means Nasib in my language, then what is Takdir in English?
I need that so I wouldn't mix the two words up.

@Biff

That's what we believe about Death. It is one of our Takdir. We cannot escape from it.
Really interesting idea, Molly.

I thought about this and of course , his occupation didn't bother me...the breeding did. :)

Taking your idea seriously though... hmmm... I am going to say no. There was a time in my life that I would have done so, but that time for me has passed.
Abagail, so if you received a name and address of the man with whom you would be deliriously happy for the rest of your life, but he lived 12k miles/km away, would you not be tempted to book that ticket?
12 km's ...yes.

But that's literally the other side of town. :)

On the other side of the world I have met some rather amazing people over time...but Australia is home for me... so I would not , at this point in my life, move away.
I guess, once we know our limitations, It is easier to be happier with the consequences
"deliriously happy"! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing ...yeah, wouldn`t that be somthing....smitten grin
"If you build it, they will come"

Nothing is outside of our capabilities if we believe in it.
I`m rebuilding/ repairing the old barn.... not sure who will come, but I believe in it!cool wine
Krema, I agree with you about your soulmate isn't necessarily a lover. I think it possibly is better if it's not.
Vik, maybe we need to travel on the Yellow Brick Road.
lol! yeah, maybe so mollybabe, maybe so...

cool wine
