Napoleon
In class we were talking about fate. The question was why did Napoleon believe in Fate? The answer they gave was because he had so many adventures/events in his life. Ok, it’s not word for word but you get what I’m saying.
I thought this was amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Think about it… when Napoleon lived he never knew what lied before him all he knew was that it was always something. It was something big!
Sometimes people believe that their fate is no more than death. I think when we are young we see the world and think we have some control over where we will be in 10 years, what our husband or wife will be like, what kind of job we will have, really all we know eventually is that you cannot dream you fate. Fate is what happens to you when you are busy planning your next move, your next big event in your life. It happens to busy people, so get busy.
