If It’s Meant for You, It’s Gonna Happen Anyway…

**The Story of “If It’s Meant for You, It’s Gonna Happen Anyway”**

I’ve pretty much applied this belief to many things in life now-from rejecting job offers to declining various opportunities-solely with the hope that *if it’s meant for me, it will happen anyway.*

Here’s a quick story.

I’m not really great at cycling, but I love it. I love the people who cycle, the energy, the freedom. As a woman, I was looking for a group with more female participation, because Cycle Connect Bhaktapur doesn’t have many women riders. While scrolling through Facebook, I stumbled upon a group of girls, ladies-cycling to places, exploring trails. I was instantly drawn in.

I kept wondering, *Who is this sister who initiated such a beautiful movement?* That’s when I found Asmita Rajbansi.

Fast forward a month-there was a Jatra happening in Thimi or somewhere nearby. I went alone to see what was going on. Amidst the crowd and noise, I saw Asmita Di and other WCN members. I wasn’t on a cycle, and the environment was too chaotic to have a proper conversation. The day ended, and I felt a little sad. *Why didn’t I bring my cycle?* Maybe then I would’ve had a better chance to talk with her.

But life had other plans.

Later, I was invited to an event by Dr. Tara Lal Shrestha. And of course, being me, I love connecting with people-so I went. And guess what? Asmita Di was there. I finally got to talk with her, and she invited me to join a ride the next day.

And yes-I had fun. Riding with all girls, trying new things without fear, knowing I wouldn’t be judged. That feeling of safety was everything.

Though I haven’t joined them again since, I still remember the ride to Bhanjyang Trail. We pushed each other up. No one was left behind. No one was rushing. Afterward, we had a little picnic moment, clicked tons of photos, and yes-the day was happy.

If its meant for you its gonna happen anyway be it meeting with people or just getting new dashing opportunities.
