Changing The Direction Of Your Destiny

In our previous article; You Control Your Destiny, and the article before that; Seven Fences That Bind And Separate Us, we spoke about the limitations and negative qualities we need to overcome in order to simply be a better person, and have a better life.

This article will continue in that theme with the next step of the process; what to become after, and while in the process, of removing the negative qualities.

Destiny, as we discussed, is formed by the combination of the powers that control us, that make each of us who we are based on the combination of how much each of the powers controls us.

This means that Destiny is not an individual being of it's own personality and fixed as it is, but is a fluid and constantly changing being with a plan that changes from moment to moment.

Recycling glass is the easiest analogy. When a glass object is recycled, the first step is to break and destroy the item, then melt the glass and form it into a new item.

I will divert and refer to the Kaballah to relate my analogy to this ancient mystical teaching. In the Kaballah it says that God created the perfect vessels. That could be other gods or our soul or some spiritual being that we cannot, and at this point do not need to, comprehend.

But the problem was, being created perfect, they were not actually perfect because they did not use free will to choose what to become, there was no challenge. As Nietzsche said; "What does not kill me, makes me stronger." We all know this to be true.

And so, God broke the perfect vessels He created so that they could use free will to reassemble themselves, and thus having used free will in the challenge to overcome the difficulties, they would be truly perfect and worthy of being Gods.

The breaking is by putting the seven powers, which are the negative qualities we have to overcome, to create our destiny. As we overcome them, we are in the process of reassembling our self, the vessel, and gain greater control to change our destiny, but, it does not end there.

What's Next?

The next step is to build the positive qualities. They will create a new Destiny, a new being of it's own personality and character, who will bring a new set of life opportunities.

Yes it's true, you can imagine Destiny to be an angelic being watching over you, or you can simply use logic and see that if you are a good, reliable person, that you will get many more opportunities and have better friends than if you are a selfish, arrogant ass.

Every coin has two sides. We have explored the negative side and now let's explore the positive one.

These are the Seven Qualities, that we must cultivate to create a new Destiny that will guide our life.

• Wisdom. To know what is right at each moment rather than your own opinion, and act for the best interests instead of your own.

• Understanding. To be objective of the situation, instead of seeing what you want to see, which closes your mind to the facts.

• Counsel. To advise, or just listen to their feelings, with compassion.

• Knowledge. The more you know of more things, makes your mind creative by being able to draw from a great diversity of possibilities, making you able to solve all problems.

• Fortitude. The strength to stand strong in the face of disaster. As Kipling said in his poem, 'If'. "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you... " Stand up when you are knocked down, as many times as that happens, and nothing can truly beat you down. This is how to develop detachment from possessions and events that control you, This is to have true power over your life.

• Integrity. One of the most important qualities because we all need someone we can rely on. A person with Integrity is the one who inspires courage and is trusted when others fail.

• Responsibility. The most important quality as everyone avoids accepting the truth about themselves because that means, you cannot rely on anyone, even yourself. Accepting responsibility for everything in your life, all your actions and decisions, the good and the bad, makes you the one everyone can trust and turn to. It's the spark that ignites the power for you to control your Destiny. This quality is the difference between strong and low self-esteem and self-confidence.

The start of this change from the negative powers to the positive qualities which control your mind, emotions and actions, is with taking responsibility that you, and only you, are and always have been the one making the final decisions.

Destiny can only bring you the events, the opportunities, but you are the one who chose what to do, or not do, in each situation, every moment of your life.

Take responsibility for the events of your life, for your Destiny. Weaken the Seven Powers that control you and strengthen these Seven Qualities.

This is how you will give birth to and create a new Destiny who you can command to bring you a new life

Ethicalism is simply a collection of ethics and practical exercises to help apply them in our life. In conducting ourselves such that we will live a satisfying and purposeful life, we strengthen our individuality and self-esteem, while opening up to deeper connections with ourself and others.

Lessons I Learned From My Car Accident (By Anne Theriault)

I was recently involved in a bad auto accident and I find myself wondering what life lesson this had for me. That was a huge eye opener on life and that in a blink of an eye it could all be gone... just like that.

I was knocked unconscious by the impact and the air bag so the good thing is I don't remember anything about the accident. My first memory is lying in the back of the ambulance being given oxygen as the paramedics tried to bring me back from my unconscious state.

As I lay in the emergency room, I found myself analyzing my life and thanking God that I was still alive. The good news is, nobody else was hurt and my dog Casey wasn't with me.

Since that day, the physical recovery has been difficult, but not as difficult as the emotional recovery. I have learned a lot about myself and about what really matters in this world.

I am not invincible and I cannot control everything that happens in my life. I gotta learn to let go of the reins a bit and just go with the flow. I need to be better about accepting the things that come my way that I didn't plan for. And still be a better person after.

As someone who is in constant motion, it taught me to slow down a little.

I have learned to live each day honestly and fully.

I feel blessed and am very grateful that I have family and neighbors who stepped in to help me cope with this ordeal. There are so many good people in this world. Sometimes we get so caught up in the drama of world news, politics, social media and current events, we forget to look at the big picture. Look for the good in everyone... everyone is dealing with something we don't know about.

If you have a bucket list... start doing those things. If you don't have a bucket list... make one. We all have dreams and aspirations for ourselves and for our family. Waiting for "someday"... well, that "someday" may never come.

As I continue to heal physically and emotionally, I have a different perspective on life. The things that matter in life are not "things." When tragedy strikes, you can either let it break your spirit, or use it as an opportunity to grow and look at life with a different perspective.

I have chosen to grow from it.

Opportunity Is Always Under Your Feet

Has it ever crossed your mind why some people always make it in life regardless of their status or background or even beliefs? The reason is that they have mastered the LIFE PRINCIPLE which says that, wherever you are there is something prepared for you. Move away from trying to think that good things or better things are never found where you are but rather somewhere else.

Right there where you are you have an opportunity to do great things and to be a better person. You do not need to look for those good things from other people or from other families or communities. Take time to dig around yourself and where you are. This world is structured in such a way that if you truly believe in your dreams and work hard on those dreams, you are going to be a success, regardless of where you are. So opportunity is everywhere.

This world we live in is a place where the bold and courageous ones make it. Be bold in your field of expertise. Be the best in what you do and where you are now, you will make extraordinary milestones. Maybe you are a writer, be the best in your writing. Do not be afraid that most things have been written, the world is waiting to hear your voice concerning a certain philosophy or concept.

Right now the opportunity is there, where you are sitting, working or studying. Look round about and see, the land is full of gold and diamonds for you to pick. I am reminded of a book by; Dr Russell. H Conwell: Acres of Diamonds:

In the book there is a story about a certain farmer who was content because he was happy. One day a certain wise man came and asked him if he knew that finding a diamond the size of his thumb would make him own a city.

The farmer became discontent and unhappy such that he decided to sell off his land to go and look for diamond. He went around the world looking for the diamond and found none. He actually died while searching. On the other hand the new farm owner while watering the camels in the farm found a sparkling stone.

The wise man came back looking for the original farm owner, couldn't find him. The new farm owner showed the wise man the stone and the wise man was amazed because it was DIAMOND.

Meaning the original farm owner was sitting on acres of diamonds yet he knew it not.

Moral of the story

• opportunity is always under our feet. We do not have to go anywhere. All we need to do is recognize it.

"Your big opportunity maybe right where you are now"~ Napoleon Hill

"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more."~ Tony Robbins

So opportunity is always knocking at your door, but it takes that kind of eye and a right attitude to realize the great opportunities that lie in your life. You were planted for a purpose where you are right now and you do not need to be someone or somewhere to be significant or influential in this life.

Do not wait to be given an opportunity by anyone, you already have the opportunity under your feet.

HAVE A RIGHT ATTITUDE AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY SEE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE YOU ARE
