For Every One, there are one thousand more

Let it shut. Allow that so-called window of opportunity to close. Stop clutching onto its worn out frame with the hinges coming off. It is time. It has always been time.

Like the majority of us, I have also been someone who firmly believed that I had a window of opportunity in my Life. For people. Connections. Certain accomplishments etc. But not anymore. The notion to believe that among us 7 billion humans on Earth, and everything else that is inhabiting this planet. All the energies surrounding us, influxing events that we are oblivious about. The notion to believe that we only have one shot to be, is surreally unrealistic to me now.

Here we go as human beings, believing and buying into these notions, that cause us to walk around broken-hearted for the majority of our life. I just don’t see the need for that. Period. I’m not sure who and what started it, since it dates back to what seems to be the beginning of time. But what is worse is, that we continue to perpetrate those beliefs not just for ourselves, but for every generation following us. It was obviously handed down to me. And in some twisted way, I have been handing it around and forward myself. Until I came to my senses and recognized the non-sensical value of it.

I am talking about those beliefs and stories that we hear over and over again about someone having had the opportunity of a lifetime, but they missed it and now they are living out their life in seemingly drudgery. Hogwash. For one, if you are one of those people who believe that you missed out on something, whatever it may be, a relationship, a job, anything. And you choose to make yourself miserable over that, lamenting about it any chance you have, I have no pity on you. Not just for “missing” out on your window of opportunity, more so on the fact that you are now making the conscious decision to be miserable about something that never really was.

For every one person who rejects you, there are a thousand more who would love to have you in their life. So why would you ever get hung up over one. If you believe in eternal love and afterlife, I am sure that whoever is your eternal love will eventually catch up with you. Somewhere along the spectrum of infinity. The same goes for any other opportune moment you were too slow to catch. That should only prepare you to be on the ready next time, or any time, something comes across your path that was clearly placed there for you. Obviously, you were not ready for whatever that missed opportunity was. By hanging onto that past moment, you have closed the other one thousand moments in your lifetime to make it as great as you want it to be.
