Something to Think About

"First, you must find me.
Then, you must follow me.
Choosing, you will test me.
Knowing, you will challenge me.
At last, you must deserve me."

I came across this passage while randomly searching through blogs this morning. It is a quote taken from Charlotte Kandel's book The Scarlett Stockings. In the book, the riddle refers to the stockings. When I first read it, however, I thought of how many of our life experiences could reflect this quote. The choices of our lives mingled with the paths of our destiny.
