Destiny

My wish as always is for you to have a Happy Monday.

There are some persons who believe that the story of their life is already scripted and they are just living out what has already been predetermined. These persons views of life is whatever is to happen will happen and there is nothing that I can do about it.

There are some persons who view life as a gift and before them are placed endless possibilities and there is no limit  placed on who or what they can aspire to be or to achieve. These person envision life with goals to be set and each  goal achieved requiring the next to be even more difficult.

There are some persons who see the greatest power that exist as residing within their intellectual capacity and in their mind. These persons discard the idea of the existence of God or of any greater power and declare that whatever I want the power to achieve lies within me and I do not need God or anyone else.

Life on the whole is interesting because some persons destiny and calling were ordained before their conception, some persons receive their calling as a child, some persons  in their youth, some persons in manhood, some persons during old age and some persons died without every discovering their destiny or calling.

The person whose life and calling was ordained before conception is somewhat fortunate in that he does not have the privilege of wondering what calling to pursue in life but simply has to grow in his calling and follow his destiny. Those persons who get their calling as a child or youth must pursue training, wisdom and experience in order to maximize and be the best in their calling. These persons get their calling but must grow and learn in preparation for the time when they are to be used. The persons who come into  their  calling in life  in manhood are quite often men who has displayed exceptional qualities. These qualities even if they are natural abilities would have been hone and perfected for many years  These men too will need training and experience but will be beyond the folly and inexperience  of childhood and youth and have been fully shaped and matured. A man who comes into his calling in old age is a man who has gained wisdom, experience and maturity. The entire life of the aged man would have been preparation for the task to which he had been called.

It can only be described as being sad if a man live his whole life and never discover his destiny or live his entire life to satisfy selfish desires. The person who thinks that there is no power greater than that which lies within is just as pathetic.

Life in the present is constantly changing and the truly great man change with the times while remaining unchanged. The man who sees life as placing in his way endless possibilities is the man who is ready to climb to great heights. He is the one who determines his destiny as he connects to the greater power that resides outside this universe because he envisions and strives to reach the highest possible peak.

There is a thing that happen to many person and it is ceasing to grow. These persons get to a stage which is comfortable and cease to grow and so never reach their full potential. There are no provisions made in life to take care of the past but the future hold endless possibilities.

This week forget about the past and focus on the possibilities of the future.
