If It's Meant To Be

I've been pondering a specific quote that I have heard many times before.

"Life will give you what you settle for."

The reason I have been pondering this quote is because I feel as though I have been going about it all wrong.

Originally I was thinking I have to go out and make things happen. Don't let anything slow me down. Push forward and grind it out!

But life is generous. It is always giving. It may not give in the way I was hoping for, though, which is what throws off that voice in my head.

Settling is really just a point of view. I know things are happening FOR me. Does it mean that I don't ask for what I want or go after my dreams? Of course not! It means that I can't be married to HOW I'm going to get there or WHAT I'm suppose to do.

If something is meant to be it will come to be with flow and ease. Through surrendering and accepting what is on front of me right now.
