SHAPE YOUR DESTINY

Perhaps the single most important discovery you can ever make in your life is to realize that you are the master of your own destiny and fate .Many people like to factor in things like divine intervention and providence ,but sooner rather than latter we all discover that A LOT really boils down to that very crucial word in human consciousness called choice .We are where we are in life because we have chosen this. I know that there are some people whose limitations were imposed upon them by unfortunate circumstances which were no fault of their own including birth.It then seems insensitive for me to use the same brush for everybody including those in such circumstances .When you discover the liberating power of choice you will understand how you can turn around your life, change it and even more important be on the driver`s seat in your life.

Human beings have the capacity to reflect at a very high level and this is what sets us apart from other animals. We can choose what we want to do and then use our ability to do it.What is the point of living an unfulfilled life and watch your life from the spectators terraces?Often times I hear people blame the world out there ,God ,the Government---everybody else except themselves for how they turned out to be in life.This lazy and lame excuse apportions blame to somebody else as if the power to change resides somewhere out there.The power to change is in you.Shift your attitude,choose what you want to be and to become in life and then go for it yourself.It is not too late ,quit making excuses and if you do not reach the pinnacle of your own dreams ,remember you were the only one who had to accomplish that dream,for yourself and not for anybody.Do not blame anybody.Go for your dreams.

If you are not satisfied with your life,you need to sit down and reflect seriously on what you want to do about it .Set your goals and targets and choose a higher life.Do not shortchange yourself , pick the best that life can offer.Remember that the best things in life are reserved for radical extra-ordinary go-getters. When you start working towards your dreams, never make failure an option and be determined in the face of adversity and frustration.Let your effort start telling a different story about your life.

So,do not let circumstances define your destiny,script it yourself.
