The undeniable beauty of fortuities

Everything that happens out of necessity, everything we expect to happen and everything that does happen day in and day out, is mute.

It is chance and everything that is against the odds which gives our life colour. It is the unexpected that has the power to stop us and show us the beauty of life. It is chance that is able to speak to us and stand out from the grey mass of necessity.

For many people the ability to see the future for example seems really appealing. However in my opinion it is the worst super power one could possibly have. If everything would occur as expected, mistakes would be nonexistent and everyone would be having what they want.

Wouldn’t this take the challenge out of life? The struggle, the process and the exciting stuff?

How would love be if you would know in advance how another person feels about you? This would kill it right? Love and everything that makes our life worth living involves risk and forces us to make ourselves vulnerable.

Take this tension away and achieving your goals will feel a lot less exciting compared to when risk, hard work and insecurity is involved.

The element of surprise is what gives our life a dimension of beauty. It are the experiences hidden in fortuities or chance that have the power to change our lives.

Life is all about risk and insecurity. Doing things we do not know the outcome of beforehand are most often the things that bring us the most beautiful experiences. Open yourself up for the unexpected and embrace your vulnerabilities because this is what makes us human.

Chance is what makes life worth living and dreams worth pursuing.
