If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.
The creative urge matters. Stories matter. Images matter. It matters that you were born with a genius, a guiding spirit, a daimon that may know more about your destiny than you do.
So far as I am concerned, poetry and every other art was and is and forever will be strictly and distinctly a question of individuality... If poetry is your goal, you've got to forget all about punishments and all about rewards and all about self-styled obligations and duties and responsibilities etcetera ad infinitum and remember one thing only: that it's you - nobody else - who determine your destiny and decide your fate. Nobody else can be alive for you; nor can you be alive for anybody else... There's the artist's responsibility; and the most awful responsibility on earth.
Every thought is a cause & every condition is an effect. Change your thoughts & you change your destiny.
To step into tomorrow's possibilities you must let go of yesterday's realities. Be careful of your choices between what was, is and will be. It is very hard to fully step into your destiny while you are still holding on to your history.
What I WILL say is this. What you interpret is not MY fault. It's yours. The first step in owning your life, your body and your destiny is to OWN the thoughts that come out of your own head. I didn't create them. You created them. So if you want to continue ‘hating’ this image, get used to hating many other things for the rest of your life.
Each day, life will send you little windows of opportunity. Your destiny will ultimately be defined by how you respond to these windows of opportunity. Shrink from them and your life will be small, feel the fear and run to them anyway, and you life will be big. Life's just too short to play little.
You cannot amputate your history from your destiny, because that is redemption.
Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.
Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving toward something.
If you have a strong mind and plant in it a firm resolve, you can change your destiny.
You didn't accidentally get your personality, looks and gifts. You were designed on purpose to be the way you are. You have what you need to fulfill your destiny.
Never arbitrate. Arbitration allows a third party to determine your destiny. It is a resort of the weak.
When You Hold Onto Your History, You Do It At The Expense Of Your Destiny.
Don't downgrade your dream to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny.
If you spend your life trying to please people or letting them control you, you may make them happy, but you'll miss your destiny.
You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.
Do not look back and do not dream about the future. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward, your destiny, is in the present moment
There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.
Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.
What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live - with your self-respect alive and growing.
Commitment is that turning point in your life when you seize the moment to alter your destiny.
You will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise.
Your destiny is too great, your assignment too important, your time too valuable. Don't let fear intimidate you.
To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny.
