Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith
the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give
you an expected end.
Voltaire
Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her. But
once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to
play the cards in order to win the game.
Franklin Roosevelt
Men are not prisoners of Fate, but only prisoners of their
own minds.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Every individual has a place to fill in the world and it
important in some respect whether he chooses to be or not.
WIlliams Jennings Bryan
Destiny is not a matter of chance, but of choice. Not
something to wish for, but to attain.
Neil Somerville
You are the master of your own destiny. Use your strengths
well. They are the keys to your destiny and your success in
life. Once you know yourself and take action to realize your
dreams, you can unlock the doors to your own potential.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of
their dreams.
Shakespeare
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
So I was curious about your perception or thoughts as to if
you or I have a purpose in life, some call it destiny or even
fate. Is there a such thing as free will or freedom of choice?
Was it meant to be that I am going to be poor, lazy and pick
lent out of my navel the rest of my life? Or do I have the
power to change the outcome to be rich, travel the world
and let super models do shots off my six pack abs? Is God
in control or am I?
If you don't believe in a higher being then the answer
for you is easy because you have no purpose.
You you were born to die and that's a miserable way to
think and live. I refuse to believe that I went through all this
BS in life just to have it end for no reason! Doing good
wouldn't matter, killing someone wouldn't matter, rules
wouldn't matter, I could take everything you got because
after all, who cares because it's all for nothing.
But if you believe that there is a reason for your existence,
then what is it? How come your life is so difficult? Why is it
so easy? How come you don't have everything you want or
not in the shape you want to be in? Is it possible to change
your thoughts and circumstances? Is it possible to still have
everything you want or more than you could ever imagine?
Are you destined to be mediocre and settle for less or do we
have the ability to change the outcome?
Don't get me wrong, if your content with your life and
everything the way that it is then great for you. But most
people I know have dreams to have more or to be more and
maybe just do more for others. Are you truly content with
your life because this is all you want and this is perfect or do
you dream of having a bigger home, nicer car, losing 20lbs,
sending your kids to the best schools, having your own
business, traveling the world, doing your dream job etc? You
ever see a good cause on Facebook like ALS and wish you
could donate $100 but wonder why you can't afford to?
Shouldn't we all be able to afford to give whenever we want?
Truth is, if you can't afford to then maybe you really don't
have everything you want.
I believe that you have a greater purpose and you can be
greater than your imagination. I'm not talking about fame but
a person who impacts the world through his/her gifts, loving
others and looking at the bigger picture. You have the
choice to either take what you got and settle or you have the
choice to change it for better or worse. Nobody can make
you want achieve more but people can help you focus your
vision and put you on the right path. Even if you don't want
more for you, you can still impact the lives of others.
Don't cop out and say you can't change your life,
circumstance or even those around you. God gave you the
power, the authority and the ability to do so if you believe it.
Question is what will you do? I challenge you to chase your
dreams and don't waste the greatest gift man was given
which is free will. Choose to be all you can be and if not for
you then do it for your loved ones!
