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.
