Destiny

You are what your deep, driving desire is.

As your desire is, so is your will.

As your will is, so is your deed.

As your deed is, so is your destiny.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad IV 4.5

Do you believe in fate or destiny to give up your life away? Do not you want to convert them into the fate and destiny as you dreamed of? Is it just fate that can be changed, while the fate already a verdict in your life?

Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire. Orison Swett Marden.

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”  William Shakespeare

Let us follow our destiny, ebb and flow. Whatever may happen, we master fortune by accepting it. Virgil.

“I thought about one of my favorite Sufi poems, which says that God long ago drew a circle in the sand exactly around the spot where you are standing right now. I was never not coming here. This was never not going to happen.”  Elizabeth Gilbert (She wrote a famous novel: Eat Pray Love).

“You can’t go back, Ever. You can’t change the past. It just is. . . . This is our destiny. Not yours.”  Alyson Noel, Blue Moon.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate, yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passions, his mistakes and weakness. Democritus.

"We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny." Catherine Booth

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him. Henry Miller And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own. Andre Malraux “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”  Lisa Mantchey Whatever the debate between good fortune and destiny, the human intellect has been furnished by the creator. We are given only 24 hours, let us give thanks to the owner of the time. Between the hours of our lives, it turns out we always have a chance to improve the future, even we can plan our own future through dreams and meticulous work and relentless effort.  Surely there will be results that will be achieved despite the obstacles in between hope and uncertainty. Silence is not an option to create a better fate, and one day met a more beautiful destiny.
