"What will be will be," is one of the quotes I have heard many times before but it never made meaning to me until some time last year when I met someone special.
They say "Love is a beautiful thing," truly I never saw the beauty in it until last year. I met this lady online and we began as casual friends, from there things started becoming serious that a day didn't go by and we didn't talk to each other.
Being the kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend or stay quiet when something is bothering me, I decided to open up to this lady, lucky me, she was also on the same page but she was from Kwara state, and I am from Nasarawa, the distance is huge. She was so plain on the fact that her parents would not consent her to do anything serious with me.
I got pierced to my bones hearing the last part but she said let's give it a try and wrapped up everything by saying, "What will be will be." Since then, the quote has stuck in my head.
I was not concerned about who quoted it first, I didn't even bother to go on any further research moreover, the meaning is not concealed.
But before writing this post today, I did some research, though I am not really sure if I am right or not I found out that it was Doris Day who made the quote, I stand to be corrected.
After the "Yes," from the lady, we kicked started, everything was all going well then it started going south. I won't lie, I was so hurt but each time I remember what she said, "What will be will be," I smile and put myself together. After a while the bond got weak and everything changed.
The quote made me understand that in life everything seemed to be already planned. Things are already worked out and kept, paradventure we find the blueprint and begin to work accordingly, we will land at the expected destination, and if the opposite happens, we will get a disheartening result.
Nothing is more dangerous than doing the wrong thing, it will just make you waste your time, energy, and resources for nothing.
Unfortunately, we can't tell all the time whether we are on the right path or not. That's why we do trial and error. For that reason, I believe that things that will work out, will work out and things that will not work, will not. If it works, you are on the right track, if it doesn't, you are probably on the wrong path.
There is no need to force things because even if we do and they are not destined to be, they will still crash. That understanding has so much helped that I don't pressure and worry myself so much whenever I am pursuing anything if it comes fine, if it doesn't fine.
Whatever will happen, will happen, it may not happen exactly the way we project it, it might be changed for better or for worse yet, it will happen.
For this reason, my mind is always fixed, my friends ask me why I seem not to be worried about things and I laugh, it's not that I don't worry, I do, I am human but my little secret is, what will be will be, whether you worry or not, it will be if it will be.
But I need to draw the line, the fact that what will be will be, doesn't mean we should fold our arms and watch things, no, in fact, that should even make us put more effort because we know that there will be an outcome at the end of the day.
That should spur us to do even more and work better, let it be that at least we tried our best but things went south, and not that we didn't do anything at all. Some things will never be if we don't put in effort, and even if they are, the result might not be encouraging.
In the case of bad things, what will be will be can even be averted or made less effective if we take action. So, what will be, will be is not a yardstick for anyone to fold their arms. Take note, sometimes it may never be if we don't do something about it.
