Is it meant to be? Debate ?

Steve: in answers to posts on this and other boards, you often see the phrase "if its meant to be, its meant to be" or "you can't lose what is truly yours" (or another variation--if you love something set it free and it will come back to you if its truly yours). Yet at the same time people often talk about timing and if the timing isn't right or someone isn't ready for a relationship it won't work out. So how are those two ideas reconciled? If you met someone who was TRULY meant for you but you met them at a bad time (ie you were too immature or too young) would that mean you would meet them later when the time is right and it WOULD work out? Or if you never do meet them again, or they fall in love with someone else in the meantime, does that mean they were never truly yours or never truly loved you? I just think its interesting so many people use these phrases or explanations, yet at the same time they are completely contradictory--one implies just let fate take its course because you're almost predestined to end up with the one meant for you, yet the other seems to say you'd better act now, because later the timing could be off or because the timing is off now they could fall in love with someone else. So how do people reconcile these two things?
