Mike's Quotes #23: Destiny On Purpose

 
"A powerful, positive and great DESTINY is something that is done on PURPOSE!" 
- Mike Spillman (05.27.14)


It seems that a lot of people have the same idea about "destiny" as they do about "opportunity". It's as if they think that "destiny" is going to show up on their front porch, right alongside "opportunity" and, although you're just kicking back in your easy chair doing nothing, they will knock and wait gleefully for you to answer the door.

WRONG!

Go back and read my blog article about this approach to OPPORTUNITY by clicking here.

I guess a lot of people get this idea from the very definition of the word, "destiny".  All of the definitions I looked over all had the word "predetermined" found in the definition which I believe is very misleading. The very idea of something that is "predetermined" suggests that, regardless of what you do or don't do, it's going to happen anyway.

Once again, WRONG! 

 Do you REALLY believe that you can just sit on your couch and never pursue anything and reach any "destiny" other than that of becoming obese and one that has accomplished absolutely nothing? Oh, believe me, I hear someone saying, "But maybe that's my destiny!"

Seriously, I can't help you if that is the way that you think!

Here is what is "predetermined" in and for your life: "As long as there is breath, there is hope!"

That's right. The fact that YOU have OPPORTUNITY available to you each and every day is what is "predetermined" in and for your life. Period. Regardless of who you are or where you live. Period.

Again, you cannot wait for opportunity to "knock" on your door but, rather, you must "go after" opportunity and "chase it down".

"A powerful, positive and great DESTINY is something that is done on PURPOSE!"

Daily, purposeful activity will help you achieve a powerful and positive destiny. Yeah, in other words, you will have to WORK or "make effort" to bring that desire of destiny to reality.

In my next article I will discuss the idea of those that expect something DIFFERENT to happen in their life while they fail and/or refuse to make any CHANGES in their life.

It's just not going to happen.

If you want a POWERFUL and POSITIVE destiny then, friend, you need to take some PURPOSEFUL action in and for your life and you need to do that TODAY.

Until next time, whatever you do, always be sure to...



"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

Mike
