Listen To Yourself And You Will Find Your Destiny

(By William Topa In Unsplased)

Destiny is human’s hardest fear. The unknown is the future and everything unknown can be good or bad, can bring you up or down. Only God knows your destiny; that is true. But is your destiny written? I admit it; it is a very interesting topic to discuss. Our destiny is not written for two main reasons: We have all the freedom of living and we are not God’s toys.

As humans, we are all creations of God. This concept is mainly clear, First, we have the liberty to survive, as we want and to do actions that our body and mind want to do. We are not certain that we will succeed or fail in life. We are supposed to do and be the best; we shouldn’t use destiny to excuse our bad choices or credit destiny for the good ones. Destiny means that you will be given two choices and the choice you made is something you will be punished or rewarded for.

Believing in destiny is believing in the power of God. However, in the end, each one of us knows that God gave us all the freedom to live, and believing in destiny is just following your heart and following all the commands of God or not. Look inside your heart, you will find your destiny, the future you want for yourself.

Destiny is something to which a person or thing is destined i.e. the course of events in our life is predetermined to reach a preordained destination. Destiny implies that there is some Power which decrees or determines the course of events beforehand. In this view, there is no chance or choice left. And for those who believe in destiny, fate is the principle or determining cause by which things, in general, are believed to come to as they are or events to happen as they do. Fate and destiny are therefore related causally; therefore one who believes in destiny has to believe in fate. Let's understand this with a help of the below story!

Once five men were caught in a thick forest.

The first man said…“I will go left. Because my intuition said so.”

The second one said…“I will go the right because the right comes from the word rightness. “

The third one said…”I will go back the way we came.”

The fourth one said…”I will go straight. We should move forward, the forest will end and we will go somewhere new. “

The fifth said…”You are all wrong. There is a better solution. Wait for me. “

He climbed the tallest tree he could find while everyone else went their own way.

From above he saw the shortest way to exit. He could also see the order in which the others would exist. He understood the problem and found the best solution!

He knew that he did everything right. The others were wrong. They were stubborn and they didn’t listen to him. He was the real Wise Man!

But he was wrong. Everyone was right. They were all wise.

The man who went to the left found himself in the thicket. He had to starve and fight with wild animals, but he learned how to survive in the forest. He became a part of the forest and could teach others the same.

The man who went to the right was robbed of everything and was forced to join them. After some time, he had reminded the thieves of something they had forgotten – humanity and compassion.

The man who went back created a trail through the forest which soon became a road for those who wanted to enjoy the forest without the fear of getting lost.

The man who went straight became a pioneer. He went places where nobody else had been before and created new opportunities for others.

The man who climbed the tree became a guide. People turned to him when they wanted to find the most efficient ways to deal with their problems.

These five wise men created their destiny by listening to their intuition. You can create your own path.

Listen to yourself and you will find your destiny.

If this touched you, pass it on to inspire others to make the most of this life.
