destiny and acceptance

Do you believe in destiny?

Yes. I believe that everyone has a destiny, a place of pure being, a homecoming of realization and actualization. I also believe that many people are unhappy and unfulfilled because they aren’t living out their destiny.

But many people don’t know their destiny, they don’t even know of it.

True. Not many people really know who they are or what destiny is.

Why do we not know who we are?

We often don’t know who we really are because of our programming, we have been taught how to behave, we are told how to act, we are told what is good and what is bad and most often don’t get to discern for ourselves what works or doesn’t. It is easy to become a copy of someone else or grow in a way society wants us to without questioning if what we are doing and where we are going really suits our personal selves.

Those who behave in a spontaneous manner and do what they want to do are always looked at to be doing something strange. It’s different, it’s unusual and therefore it cannot be right. The behavior doesn’t suit the programming and so it is in conflict, this is why it is so hard to be oneself. Behavior that isn’t the norm will be condemned by those living the norm; it can be uncomfortable to see someone who is free from conditioning while you are not.

Living authentically is difficult but after awhile it becomes easier and easier, when you feel you are reaching towards the unknown and the uncharted you will feel energy and synchronicity. Then your true self will take over and inner peace will suddenly flow from within. When you are living your destiny, living authentically and with originality you will be content, you can do great things and you have a source of power because you are doing what you are here on earth to do.

Discover what you should be doing, what you can ultimately be, the talents and gifts you have will show you the way. Acceptance is the first step, acceptance of everything, every horror that lies within, every distasteful or painful thing; these are the things that hold us back. These are the things that cause confusion and denial but are really essential for growth and development. It is not easy; it isn’t hard though either, our thoughts are what make it difficult. Meditation can help you reach a state of clarity and awareness.
