The "f"our F's That RULE.

Every person on earth, right from the moment they step out of the womb, is forced to make choices. The choice that he makes, decides what he is tomorrow. I was just contemplating about this,while having my evening coffee , about the creation that envelopes us. "The world is not enough" is the first thing that came to my head! As I got thinking about my own life, thoughts started streaming in and I had this sudden urge to blog about the "F"our F's that rule one's life.
The first one is Fortune. How much you make and how soon you do it . "Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets planning - Thomas Alwa Edison ". So don't just give up on things saying "Its all in the game!", because the best way to create fortune is to plan it ,which is synonymous to the saying "The best way to predict the future is to invent it".
The second "F" is Fate. Fate is just the way of acceptance. Surrendering to the inadequacies of the present. "Men are not prisoners of fate,but only prisoners of their own minds - Franklin.D.Roosevelt ". Fate can be changed if you can change.
The third "F" is Freewill. The freedom or the independence to choose between fate and destiny. Freewill also refers to the freedom beyond the limitations of the universe.
"The will is not free, it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect, but there is something behind the will which is free - Swami Vivekananda" . It is indeed a controversial term . I shall get back to it inthe upcoming posts after some research .
The last "F" is Faith. Utmost belief in what we do, a conviction and unshakable Faith in God. "A faithless man is moved by a mass, a faithful man moves a mass" . It is with faith that one can overcome the obstacles thrown by the other 3 F's . Faith - a very strong conviction in what you do, and a conscience-free mind can draw a line between the other 3 . This belief in oneself can be the ultimate ruler which surpasses the others being fate,freewill and fortune.
Today, I guess it would be a mistake if I din't add another "F" used by the "it's IN generation " . and that's...... "F---"...guess you all know what that means..! ;) ;) ;)
Note : most of the quotations "lowtified" from www.thinkexist.com
Swami Vivekananda's quotes taken from www.wikipedia.com
I guess I will have to do some more research on the facts discussed above. Anyhow, just felt like sharing my thoughts first.
