I got this off an email....one of the numerous quotes that pops up all over....
Chance or choice?

When we meet the right person to love when we're at the right place at the
right time, that's chance. When you meet someone you're attracted to,
that's not a choice, that's chance. Being caught up in a moment (and
there's a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a
choice. That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. Will you take that infatuation,
that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That's when all
sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to turn
this into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance.
That's choice. When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's
choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more
attractive, smarter, cuter and richer than him or her, and yet, you decide
to love them just the same, that's choice. Infatuation, crushes, attraction
comes to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice
that we make. There's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true
about this: "Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it
happen." We came to the world not to find someone perfect to love..... BUT
to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly...
