What If There Was No Choice?

What if this story - of our lives now - had already been written?
What if these moments now were all unfolding just as they were meant to?
What if the long debate you had with yourself - over whether to turn right or left on your path in this life - didn't matter one bit?
What if the time you spent contemplating what to do and how to do it and what if the consideration you put, into choosing the right school, the right job, the right partner, and the right friends, was all just energy expended for naught?  What if, in the end, there really was no choice after all?


Would you live differently now?
Would you toss your arms up to the sky and rejoice for another moment?  
Would you forgive mistakes of the past, as well as those that are to come, of yourself and others?
Would you liberate your self from your own mental slavery and simply accept and allow for whatever arises?
Would you open up your arms wide and embrace the Universe?
Would you hug strangers and tell as many others as you could that you love them?

What if there was no such thing as free will?
What if we were simply parts of one large organism, biologically created to do what needs to be done in order to simply move forward?
What if you simply trusted that you are endowed with the talents, strengths, skills and tools now and that you have already been using them?
What if you believed that you are here for a very specific purpose and that this mission is already being played out?


Would you Love?  
Would you cry?  
Would you care?


What if you were to breathe deeply and sink in to the knowing that,
"Good Luck.  Bad Luck.  Who knows?"


Would you Let go?
Would you move on?
Would you want to?
