We did not determine our fate into the world. What we know is we are here in the world.

About This Quote

We did not determine our fate into the world. What we know is we are here in the world. Although there are some people who wish they could stay on their couch and watch tv all day, that doesn’t mean that fate has abandoned them. Instead, fate has put them in a position to be on this planet and have the opportunity to explore life.

People are often surprised when they lose something or someone important to them because they had lived without it or because they had never thought about its value. When these things are taken away from you, you don’t have anything left to lose so you can’t miss it anymore.
