TAKE COMMAND OF YOUR DESTINY BY BECOMING UNSTOPPABLE.
A prevailing idea among the masses is that our life is controlled by our destiny and dictated by the forces of karma and fate. It appears that many believe that whatever happens in life is already written for them, wherein they exercise no control over the direction their life takes. In this scenario, one becomes reliant on the power of serendipity to tide them over to life-changing events and slowly lose their grip on the incidents, actions and outcomes that occur in their own life. But what if you became the creator of your destiny and the facilitator of the change you want? What if you became uncontrollable in your journey of achieving the feat you want?
When you recognize that whatever happens in life is an outcome of the actions you take, choices you make and the opportunities you grasp, your perspective completely changes for the better. You become aware of the fact that destiny is nothing more than an interwoven net of your thoughts, people you meet, places you go, habits you have and the activities you do that constantly collide and interact with each other to create what you call a life-transforming chance in life. Here are the ways you can take command of your life by learning to control destiny and not the other way around.
Become self-aware & accept reality
Acknowledging where you stand in life is the first step in controlling your destiny. Be truthful to yourself about how far along you are in your journey, as lying to yourself won’t help you form a clear picture of the actions you need to take moving forward. Don’t delude yourself, and look at things from an analytical perspective by developing self-awareness of your circumstances. Have a clear starting point to control your destiny.
Self-analysis of your beliefs
Accepting reality is the first step but not the only one as knowing oneself better is just a way of charting out the subsequent actions one needs to take and should not be confused with sitting back and accepting things the way they are at the moment. Challenge your beliefs and take ownership of the changes you can bring and the things out of your control. What you believe and do is the only malleable component of life that you hold authority over, whereas how the world thinks and works should be out of your scope of worries. Break free from your limiting beliefs and the shackles of the victim mentality you have put on yourself and emerge with an empowering mindset rather than a helpless story of what you can’t achieve.
Challenge your fears
Fear is a normal human emotion, but it can also hamper one in taking the necessary but scary steps in life. If fear controls your decisions and choices, you can never truly command your destiny as you are still guided by an emotion that doesn’t serve you well. Make whatever that stops you a strong suit of yours, be it public speaking or being vulnerable to changes and start working on it today, right now.
Don’t let your past haunt you
Don’t let your past mistakes or occurrences define who you are today and who you can be in the future. Don’t be shackled by your past, and don’t live in the memories of it. Give it a positive meaning that propels you further instead of letting it be a testament to your capabilities. Make it a source of strength and a force that shaped you better.
Construct your life the way you want
This is the step that comes after you have let go of your limiting beliefs, severed connections that don’t serve you, have made amends with your fears and have let go of the past. Now, figure out your bigger purpose in life and the goals you want to attain. Give your life meaning rather than making it just a repetition of your regular routine. Have a broader and extraordinary vision that fuels you with passion and enthusiasm.
Most often, the next step is where people start dwindling as now that they have made a vision for themselves and need to take the necessary actions to achieve it, you start fearing the failures. Don’t seek happiness and validation from the outside but instead make yourself the epicentre of the motivation you need. After you have designed your dream life, create smaller goals to hold yourself accountable and access the tools you need. This is how you command destiny by controlling who you are today and what you want to be tomorrow.
