Destiny: A matter of . . . ?


Is destiny a matter of choice, or is it a matter of chance?
And does knowing really matter?

To clarify here’s what DESTINY means
  1. The events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future.
  2. The hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future; fate.
Back home, Mommy has this display that says “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.”

So, I went on with life, never questioning destiny. I knew I have an active part in what will happen in my future.

I know there is God and He has all the good planned out for me, but He has also given me free will to become the person that He really intends me to be… as for the future?... I've always believed in this song learned from high school...

God knows all about tomorrow,
He can see  beyond today..
Be it filled with joy or sorrow,
He has planned it that way..
So I do not fear the future, on His promises I stand,
God knows all about tomorrow, for He holds it in His hands.

Everything that I was doing, thought of doing, thinking of doing or plan to do will all have a positive and negative effect in my life.

Life may be full of “CHANCE”.  I won't call it coincidences or accidents, but rather opportunities or lessons... and I know, I will always have a "CHOICE" as to how I will perceive, act or learn from the “chances” that life continues to give me.

Interesting topic, destiny, and all of you who commented here, are all correct. I’m not a guru, not even an expert.. just wanting to excite your thoughts with something to think about…

Honestly for me, destiny is a matter of faith.

AND this I know, we create our future with the power of our thoughts. Whatever our mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve… including our destiny, with God's blessings :)

Thanks for joining me in Gem Answers #3 thread :)

NAMASTE.

    When I was just a little girl
    I asked my mother what will I be
    Will I be pretty
    Will I be rich
    Here's what she said to me
    Que sera sera
    Whatever will be will be
    The future's not ours to see
    Que sera sera bwa ha ha if our faith is already written in the stars and the universe conspire with us then we have to call it destiny . It is by chance and a choice to make .

    For me its a choice, most of the time, but destiny is applicable also

    all i can say is: dont worry, you will age well....first we must change ourselves so that we can see what direction that we must go...because if we dont change ourselves no matter what direction we go in life we will still be blind -chris

    I think we are all dealt a hand of cards when we are born. That part is destiny. The rest is choice when we decide how to play the hand.

    destiny - whew!!!!! pinsan paduduguin mo na naman ang ilong ko hehehehe....well ito lang naman ang thoughts ko about sa messages mo sa taas... para sa akin ...choices and destiny comes along THE WAY together ...."WHAT WE CHOOSE IS WHAT OUR DESTINY TOO".

    ...once we are created by the above ALMIGHTY with the use of our parents as an instruments syempre ..our parents have already a lots of plan of what we want to be by their on wishes but; time changes so fast,,,,,,,

    we grow old and become matured, everything changes due to our "CHOICES" that we applied in life..... about WHAT we want and WHERE we want to be ...then,there our DESTINY changes because we are already in the right path to choose and decides in relation/connection to our gained knowledge given and feed by our parents, schools, teachers and others....in this we have the courage to apply our own talents and skills to find our own "DESTINY"..... fOR ME DESTINY IS WHAT/WHERE WE ARE NOW....influenced by the people around us.

Outside the Box!

Welcome to WEALTHY TUESDAYS! Money-Matters!   Let’s me face the fact.  The fact is anything can happen.  Everything is possible and possibilities are infinite. Good. Wait! Everything? Is possible? Infinite possibilities? Yes. That’s correct. (It is only our mind that sets limits; try pushing your mind beyond the box!) I learned from seminars I’ve attended in the past that  “If the intention is clear, then the mechanism will appear.” Formula: Intention 100% + Mechanism 0% = Achieved Goal 100% If my intention, (belief, purpose, faith) is clear then the mechanism (activity, action, system) will appear! ~ and that will make me achieve my goal! 100% intention that is ALL IT TAKES! Wow! Then, let me be clear: “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could be of more service to people esp. to my family, relatives and friends.” and “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could enjoy more of life’s grandeu...

The cursed HOW

In my blog post “ Powerful Thoughts ”, I have written how powerful our mind is and whatever we create in our minds, if we believe, it will achieve! How-To-Request-A-Mortgage-Rate-Adjustment-F Honestly, I did not have any idea as to HOW it will happen – (flashback, my solution for our family to be together and not have my husband work as an OFW anymore was to migrate).  HOW? that was the question!   All I have was a belief that it will happen,  158Belief.jpg and for me to mentally picture what I want to happen, I have posted dollar bills,  talk incessantly about going to America someday,  kept a dollar in my wallet just to attract it…       What else? I went to DFA in Lucena to get our passports!  That was how determined I was! epass_trans_small-1.png My aunt asked me “where are you going Gi?”,   I told her to DFA, to get our passports. She asked, “Why?”  ...

Say IT!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/70285332@N00/3032368925 "Show what you feel in relationships. If you feel like crying, cry your eyes out! When you feel like laughing, laugh your eyes out. Scream when you want to scream. Roll on the floor. Surprise everybody!" "Please don’t wait to communicate your feelings!" This came from Leo Buscaglia 's book Living, Loving and Learning . (click his name to know more about it.) For now, you would have known that I am a fan! Yes, I am! Just Say IT! I hate it when my husband will not talk to me because I did something wrong! I do not know why he needs to pamper the pain!!! I am his exact opposite because I just simply communicate what I feel, well, tactless at times but, I need the communication part, so that when I’m done with it, then it’s done.   Just LET ME KNOW! There are people who are afraid to communicate their feelings to the point that instead of directly telling "what's bugging them" with the particular...
