You may not believe me but our destiny is our own to make. If you haven't figured it out yet let me break it down for you. You are what you think, focus on and repeatedly say to yourself. Recently I have become a little obsessed with the talks and recorded seminars by Tony Robbins. I am sure you have heard of him. There is absolutely NO reason that man should be great... other than he decided to be. Maybe you don't believe he is great. Maybe he offends you to your core. Ok, I understand. You are not ready to take responsibility for your life, your choices and your actions. Come back and keep reading when you are ok?
Did I make you mad?? Good. Now use that to prove me wrong. Keep reading. Because you ARE destined for greatness. I am going to keep saying that because it is 100% true. What is greatness though? I think it really comes down to you!
Do you believe you get back from life what you give? How about this, have you ever been in bad mood so you let yourself lose control of your temper and maybe say not nice things to someone. Or perhaps you let yourself be selfish at the cost of someone else's happiness. Then later on, still not in the best mood bad things start to happen. I mean the reason you let yourself (yes you let yourself, these are choices here.), lose your patience, temper, whatever, in the first place is because you have had enough right? Life owes you a little break right? You deserve better than the crap you have been handed lately, right? But now that you have "stepped up" and taken whats "rightfully" yours or let out your anger "rightfully" so, life is handing you more crap? You lock your keys in your car, you lose your wallet right before a night out, your heal brakes off on your way to work... etc etc. Ya that's you getting back what you give! Sorry but its true. Mad at me again. Good! Keep reading.
So what if I told you, that you have the key to your own greatness and it all starts with gratitude. I dare you to try it. Just for a week, maybe 10 days. Keep a diary what happens each day. Tony Robbins as a great 3 step process to start your day. And yes... includes taking time to be very grateful. If you are on here looking at Facebook posts or playing silly online game turn on this Audio Recording in the background and have a listen. I DARE YOU! If you are in a hurry skip to near the end, start at around 54 minutes if you want. Wont be as great as listening to the whole thing but it will be enough. I could give you links to studies, research and many videos by people like Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, Louise Hay, Robin Sharma etc. but I wont. If you want that info go get. Be hungry. Question what I am saying and go find answers. But I am telling you what you focus on, what you tell yourself every day (your language in your self-talk), and what you give out into this world is what is rather aiding you or stopping you.
I have another question to ask you. Do you have this feeling, a gut wrenching feeling like you were meant to be doing something different then what you are right now? Just thinking about it is driving you nuts. You can't quite put your finger on it but you know you should be out there doing something AMAZING! Maybe you don't. Maybe you already are doing something amazing every day. That's great. But maybe you are like I was. You tried multiple different types of jobs, you bounced around trying to find your place but you never felt fulfilled. Because that's what that feeling is. You feel like you are missing something because you are. It's called your greatness! Each one of us as a gift to offer to this world. Take a moment to really search your soul, look back on the ways you made peoples lives better, ways you helped them. Or maybe you have had some crazy hard challenges in your life, but you have made it out alive! What is it you have to give this world? This life and the people in it. I promise you once you discover what your gift is and you start using it every day to help others, or to give back you will start to feel your greatness!
You don't have to be rich, or amazingly successful at your job, or even popular to be great. You will know when you get there. I promise you. Find your gift, find your passion and live it. Live it every day. And be grateful for all the things that have made you the amazing person you are today. But don't forget, the choice is yours. You make that choice every day. When you wake up and hop outta bed or if you lay there praying your alarm goes off so you can fall back a sleep even if it means your late. The choice is yours. So are you ready to take responsibility for yourself, your choices and your destiny. Life doesn't happen to you... Ya I said that. Life happens for you! What are you going to do about it?
