In class we were talking about fate. The question did Napoleon believe in Fate? The answer they gave was: Napoleon believed in fate or destiny probably because his life was so eventful and the events so extraordinary, with so much depending on chance, that it must have seemed to him as though he were in the hands of fate.
I thought this was amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Think about it… when Napoleon lived he never knew what lay before him all he knew was that it was always 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.
