Destiny and choices

My wish as always is that you will have a Happy Monday.

We are the masters of our own destiny and the choices that we make are similar to seeds beings planted so then we can easily look  forward to  crops at a later date. There are many persons who will readily disagree and declare that it is fate that determine our destiny and therefore we have to play the cards or the hand that life deal to us.

There are certain facts that most of us knows but we still need constant reminders. Among these fact are the knowledge that each of us is unique. There are no two individuals among the approximately seven billion of us on the earth that is exactly alike. There never was in the past and there will not be in the future. Each of us is bestowed with our own unique gifts and abilities. These unique gifts and abilities are that gifts given to us to make us stand out.

One of the sciences that is studied is psychology which is essentially the study of the human mind and its functions. This compares with anatomy and physiology which are the study of the human body and how the different parts function. These sciences clearly indicate that there are two different aspects to man. It will be interesting when psychology discovers what it is that make a man truly noble because then we may just be able to fix the wrongs in our world. Hopefully we will endow every man with this trait and have a world comprising only of noble men.

An English word whose meaning is continually being redefined is the word heart. It is not understood in the same sense in all cultures. The heart at one time was regarded as the core of a man and was considered to be the place where his desires, passion, intellect and will originated and was also considered to be the place where his character originated. The great thing about the heart is that it is only accessible to the individual. It is also considered to be  the place of  where his decision are made.

It is because our hearts are only accessible to us why we are the masters of our own destiny. This begs for the question to be asked what part does the fates play in our live, The idea behind the fates is that there are some things which happens in our lives which are beyond our control because supernatural powers intervene in life events. The supernatural powers works in tandem with us and therefore a person who has no need for opportunity will not receive it. There are also the hearts that are noble and perfect and these are the hearts that are ready to receive the intervention of the  supernatural and to whom unbelievable things happen. These supernatural events differ from the man who wins the lottery because for most persons who win the lottery the expected happiness never materialize. Rather these noble and perfect hearts when they experience the supernatural the ripple effects continues into eternity.

The mind and also the body must learn discipline but it is important for the mind to learn mastery over the body. Teaching and training will educate but will not necessarily make the heart great. True greatness reside in the heart of man and can be found in anyone. Those who subscribe to Judaeo/Christian teachings will be familiar with the idea that the Lord  searches among men seeking those with perfect heart.

It is interesting that quite often the knock of destiny that we seek when it knocks does not shout I am destiny embrace me. The same thing can be said of opportunity. Quite often it is the little opportunities that are embraced that later grow into something big.

So then I looked at the sand glass as time passed and observed as destiny and opportunity passing by man. One man spent his days watching the television and fantasized that his ideal is similar to what he see on the screen so he ignored what came his way. Another man's opportunity fell into his lap and he looked at himself and said I am not good enough go present yourself to some one better than me.The next man's excuse was that his opportunity involved  delays and he wanted all the pleasures life had to offer life right away. The other man decided to take up opportunity the next time because he must play the present safe in preparation for the future. Another man said there is nothing to lose and something might be won so I am coming on board although I do not know the ultimate destination.

Presented were the choices to take chance while embracing opportunity to discover destiny.

Why not you?

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

There are reasons why rivers originate in the hills and mountains and not in the valleys and plains. There are also reasons why it is much smarter to dig wells in the valleys and plains than in the mountains. There are vast reservoirs of waters under the earth and the same can be said that there are natural reservoirs of waters in the mountains. These reservoirs of water source the rivers.

The run off of rainfall in the mountains form rivers and these rivers flow thousands of miles and are so powerful that they conquer the deserts. The reservoirs of water under the earth does not suddenly overflow or burst through the earth to case flooding. When there are flooding however the earth have its natural means to accommodate flooding. Although rivers will sometime cause flooding the rivers follow a course.

Our minds can be compared to the vast natural reservoirs of water in the earth. Think about this "there are rivers that have continuously flowed for millennia transporting multiplied billions of gallons of water each day." There are no reasons to believe these rivers will stop flowing. Our world for millennia have continue to produce geniuses and there are no reason to believe that our world will stop producing geniuses. You could be the next one to be discovered.

It would only be reasonable for the present generation of geniuses to believe that they are the ultimate of geniuses. This is not necessarily so because modern inventions continue to reveal the brilliance of the past geniuses and the present geniuses are having difficulty matching those geniuses of the past. This is not really a problem because future geniuses will marvel at the brilliance of the present geniuses. Then of course, the present class of genius continue to wonder if they will ever equal those genius of the past.

There is no way to accurately measure or quantify the amount of water that are in the natural reservoirs on the earth, in the plains or in the mountains. In a similar way there is no way to measure or quantify the power and potential that lies in the reservoir of the minds of individuals. Presently there are millions of potential geniuses waiting to be discovered, or waiting on an opportunity to bloom. You are one of these potential genius. All the past events and circumstances of your life has been preparing you for this moment.

There are two essentials to the human mind and these are the things that are allowed to enter the mind and the things that leaves the mind. There are many person who believe that it is the things that enters the mind that will be processed and then passed out in variations and different forms. This is not necessarily so because the human mind has the capacity to be creative. It can produce new thoughts, ideas and concepts and it is well known that if the mind can conceive a thing then it also has the power to achieve it.

In life there is just a thin line between being a hero and being foolhardy. Quite often it is the outcome which determines which one you are. You can sit safe and comfortable in your small corner or you can put on a bold face and go out and challenge your fears. There are millions of geniuses that exists right now but are not yet discovered. Statistically this is a fact but many of these geniuses will never be discovered and many will never come into their true potential.

This does not have to be you, It is time to begin pursuing your passion because then you will see the world of opportunity before you and the doors will begin to open to you. Remember that there is no equipment that has been invented that accurately measure the capacity of your mind in term of the power to think and to be creative.
