Taming The Mind and Your Destiny

Force of destiny" means a powerful, often unseen force that is believed to control the course of one's life, essentially dictating what happens to them, regardless of their choices; it is "fate" or "predestination."

It means that in his world individuals make decisions and choices that have an unintended consequence of an event or action, especially an unwelcome one!"

A power that is believed to control what happens in the future, motivated by a sense of destiny.

How destiny works:-

Destiny is hidden in the constantly unfolding possibilities brought forth by our fate and the choices we make in life including the thoughts we think and beliefs we hold.

Our choices awaken our destiny and if we choose well, following our passion and inner curiosity, trusting what feels right and acting fearlessly, destiny unfolds, often in the most unimaginable ways.

Destiny works with us to bring us the circumstances and opportunities that are most in harmony with who we are. Who we are consists of the fate we carry, the thoughts we think, the beliefs that are consciously or unconsciously at work within us and, of course, the choices we make.

While we cannot change our fate we can change our thoughts, beliefs and the way we make our choices and as we do so our destinies too will change. There is no one single destiny, love, passion or true path for each person; life is much more generous and plentiful than to allow this to happen and that is good to know.

There is magical journey in life, much more than is commonly understood and fate and destiny work with us and for us when we trust them. We need not ever be concern or worried about what will happen to us, even if our present circumstances appear dreadful for this too is our fate and destiny, no need to fight it, but rather we trust ourselves, make good choices, act upon what feels right allowing life to unfold.

Don't try to control fate or destiny. Take all the pressure off yourself and live your life one day at a time letting them work together. Trust the process; trust yourself.

Wakefulness is more than just not being asleep. It is an aliveness and alertness about yourself and the people and circumstances around you that sees and feels it all. It is a heightened awareness that comes with practice. One makes a commitment to be awake to life and not spend all our time in 'thinking mind.' When we are awake in this way we can be attentive to our needs and the needs of others, and we know instantly when we are out of balance.

Wakefulness allows us to see without judgment or criticism, and to act instinctively and spontaneously upon that which needs to be done in any given moment. To live like this, and we can all live like this with practice, aligns us to the greater rhythms of life, giving us energy and deep insight. All the ten virtues contain blessings and gifts and charge us with energy, and wakefulness is no exception.

It breaks through the illusions and pettiness that the mind creates for us, and allows us to relax into what is happening so we can experience it fully.

When you practice wakefulness, your life opens up and you get to know and see yourself without illusion. Self-deception is impossible with wakefulness because you see clearly that all in your life has a cause, and the cause is almost always our thoughts and actions.

We see clearly that we are the creative power in our life, and that there is a direct relationship between what we are and what happens to us. We see where we are lazy and negligent, where we are petty and indulgent.

We see our desires, hopes and aspirations, and how these are being fulfilled or sabotaged by ourselves. We see it all.

To be aware like this is often shocking, because we can no longer hide behind excuses and pretend that life is being unkind to us for no reason.

We see that life is always responding to us according to our thoughts and actions, and that we are in an intimate relationship with life. It's a relationship that is governed by laws both known and unknown, and we can get to know and use these laws.

This gives us confidence and assurance and a methodology for living our life. It also provides inner peace, for life suddenly makes sense. Not in a logical way, for life transcends the narrow limits of logic, but in a deeper mystical way.

Wakefulness is noticing the inner voice amongst our clamoring thoughts, and listening keenly to what it says. Not only listening to it but acting upon what it says, which in turn creates causes and effects in our life.

Inner peace, happiness, joy, success, self-awareness, mystical awakenings, self-knowledge; these do not happen by chance, but by an awakened human being living an authentic life.

Practice Makes Permanent'

Practice makes permanent. We've all heard the expression "Practice makes perfect." It's a great quote but not accurate.

Practice doesn't make perfect but it makes us better at what we are practicing. We repeat an action over and over until it no longer requires effort or thought to do. It becomes a habit and creating good habits is one of the keys to success.

When you practice, the brain creates new neural connections. Its circuitry changes in response to the new behavior. The more you practice, the stronger these pathways become and the more permanent the habit becomes.

This is why few people ever forget how to ride a bike. The hours of practice they put in as children cemented the habit!" Life is a journey with problems to solve and lessons to learn but most of all experiences to enjoy.

Fall in love with your life. Wake up early, buy your favourite coffee, go for walks, eat good food, wear what makes you feel confident and listen to your favourite music.

Purposefully create these small moments that make you fall in love with your life.
