“Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny.”
~Steven Pressfield
We all have the power to alter our destiny in the smallest and largest of ways.
And it begins with something we do every day: Decide. If you’ve ever wanted to take up a discipline, open a new business, stop an addiction, or start anything new, it’s the same for all. It's not simple in any way. The obstacles that often stand between you and your decision can be immense and cumbersome. They might take time and effort beyond what you currently have available to move or remove them. Therein often lies the problem. You see, most of us live in a reality that says once we decide something, it must now take place. And when it doesn't (within a reasonable amount of time) we begin to think that perhaps we were off in our decision, or it just 'wasn't meant to be...' -
Come on now... We are talking about destiny here. Not whether or not your team wins the Series.
It was always meant to be if it's taken directly from your personal calling and interests. That's where the term 'altered' comes in when thinking of destiny. We might need to shift a few grains of sand or change a couple of timelines, but the destiny remains. The decision stands.
What’s meant to be is supposed to be because you decide.
In my experience, what’s possible only becomes real once you decide on the inside and then act on what you feel outside. And I mean continue to act, not just for a short spurt that feels good. Not just when people are looking at you and cheering you on. In fact, destiny is quite a private thing in my opinion. Whenever I see people spouting publicly about 'living the dream,' I wonder how long this dream will last - this time. Destiny evolves, and you have to change course with it sometime.
But it begins with the decision to go after it.
I'm not your Oracle, and I can't tell you what it is. But you know.
Go. It belongs to you.
Cheers.
