Its Inevitable

Some things in life are inevitable:

"There is no such thing as Coincidence. Only Inevitability."

"There comes a time in one’s life when you must accept your fate and come to terms with the inevitable.  As much as you tried to will it away, you always knew that the moment would arrive that you feared the most.  All that is left now is it to acknowledge the unavoidable."

For all of us, there are moments when we just know that there's some thing -- that no matter what we do, or what we have or haven't done -- in our future.  As if that something is set in stone, something we need to go through.  Maybe its to make us grow.  Or maybe its for us to learn something.  Whatever the Universe's reason for it... we don't always like it.  Sure, we're human, and we want things to go our own way.  And there are some things we can do to make events lean toward our heart's desire.  And other times, we just have to go through it.  (Which reminds me of a country song:  If you're going through hell, keep on moving before the devil knows you're there.)  

Sometimes its important to be on the other side of this something.  In looking back, perhaps we can see what our lesson was, or how it made us into a different or better person by having been there.  Sometimes, the things we go through end up being some learning experience we can share with someone else down the road -- sometimes even years down the road.  

When I started on this topic, I found quite a few quotes on how to overcome obstacles, and how not to let failure stop you from succeeding  In many instances, these are good, and inspirational.  But it doesn't touch on the things that come at us in life that we just need to accept, and then move on.  

But how do you know when to move on?  

When do you finally accept "what is" and go forward?

There are easy answers to some of the things that come at us, but there are a few tough situations in life that warrant taking a second and third look at things and assessing, then re-assessing.  I found this last quote, and realized that in the majority of situations, this is very true:

 "Thinkers do not accept the inevitable; they turn their efforts toward changing it."

 If there's something in your life that is inevitable, move through it, and move on.  If there's something you can do to change it, then change it.  Don't let it put your life on hold, I'm not going to!
