what do you do in the 20%?

avigail

 

Creator provides you with 80% scenario of your life journey.

20% is your nuance of intonation, expressions and minor choices.

For him, its:  not to be bored as he watches you -playing life – called “the surprise effect”.

For you, it is to feel think and perceive, as if  you really drive life.

 

The other day, I read a story about this guy who was diagnosed with cancer

After several chemotherapy treatment he was told :” oops – mistake, you don’t have cancer”

Happy and relieved, he went with friends to the beach to celebrate a year of cancer free..

The sad story – he went to the sea to save his niece from stormy waves.

She was saved…. He drowned.

 

What do you do in the 20% ?

    That's life's big and glorious mystery. No one really knows what you do in the 20%. You just figure it out as you go. Every time I think about it I get a headache, and no answers. Mind boggling thought. Thanks for this. Well said.

      Avigail, you know I am usually 100% behind your writing. With this one I understand the question (don't know the answer yet!), but don't get the point of the cancer (non-cancer) story. Is it co-incidence? Bad luck? He did not jump in after his niece because he WANTED to drown!
      You are right, that a minor choice can have huge results. I made a minor choice of going out with my friends, met a girl, she became my wife, changed my life completely!

        dear Fred, i was just thinking that he was aimed to die - it wasn't part of his 20%

          There I go again, missing the whole point! Sometimes I wonder how I ever got through life so far! God must have been asleep when he assigned my 80%, and since I had no clue about my 20%, I never did anything about it! 🙂

            dear Fred this is just an observation of the free choice we think we have and the determinism of life...im sure its not a fixed 20% -80% and it varies from situation to situation...person to person... how can we know? this is the school of awareness of each one of us...

          • myself and me

            Oh, I have 20% to handle, that is too much for me. I wish I have zero percent, so that I could goof around, and blame the Creator for all the mistake.
            Thank you for remind me I might still have 10% left to deal with.
