it is always important to remember we do create our own realities ... in kabbalah they teach about co-creating, jesus taught 'ask and it shall be given', and then there's cause and effect and the laws of karma that reinforce the fact that life CAN just be something that happens to us and that works for a lot of people, but life CAN also be something we have a say in and manifest ... the old nursury rhyme says ...
"row, row, row your boat gently down the stream; merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream."
so, pick your vessel: which you did when you were born -- your natal chart shows you your vessel ... then find your stream -- again, look to your natal chart or your numerological signatures; and then ROW ... sure you can just 'drift' down the stream, but if you are rowing, that means (1) you can avoid obstacles, (2) you can avoid getting caught in a back flow, and (3) you are ready to make choices when there's a fork in the stream ...
and THEN go down stream MERRILY: life is to be enjoyed. if its full of rollercoasters and stuff you don't like, or have little joy, happiness or fun -- check your direction, stream and vessel and see what's not right and then make the necessary adjustments ... or don't and continue just as you are ... you'll come to the end of your journey in the end, it just may be the one you have chosen ... its up to you whether you enjoy it along the way or not.
peace & harmony,
