You Decide Your Destiny!

You Decide Your Destiny!

Q:Who is  “The Decider”?
A: Look in the mirror!

Often you may feel like decisions are made for you  giving you the sense that life happens “to you”.  However, in reality you make your own decisions.

“YOU” are the “Decider” of your own destiny! YOUR  decisions, no matter how small or large, impact the  very course of your destiny.   Even if your choice is to allow others to make decisions for you, it is your decision that  allows this to take place.  Decisions, decisions, decisions….these are the building blocks of your live.  The  knowledge that you are truly the “decider” in the building of your life can be very  awesome.

As an Educator in the Martial Arts, I often find myself reminding students of their amazingly  powerful gift they hold as the decider, the leader of their own destiny. Even in situations  where external things are happening to you, you get to choose your responses.   You hold the power in your mind, body and spirit.

How to take control of my life?

Perhaps a story will help you see my point.   High on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful city of Venice, Italy, there lived an old man  who was a genius. Legend had it he could answer any question anyone might ask of him.  Two of the local boys figured they could fool the old man, so they caught a small bird  and headed for his residence.

One of the boys held the little bird in his hands and asked the old man if the bird was  dead or alive. Without hesitation the old man said, “Son, if I say to you that the bird is  alive, you will close your hands and crush him to death. If I say the bird is dead, you  will open your hands and he will fly away. You see, son, in your hands you hold the  power of life and death.” In your hands you hold the seeds of failure or the  potential for greatness. Your hands are capable but they  must be used – and for the right things – to reap the rewards you are capable of attaining.

The following quote captures the impact of this truth  beautifully.

 

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful  beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.  We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually,  who are you not to be?  Your playing small doesn’t’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking  so that other people won’t feel insecure around you…  As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the
same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

~ Marianne Williamson

What you might be thinking is, “what does this quote have to do with being the decider?”  In short, fear is the opposite of empowerment.

Empowerment is taking pride in your glorious role as the “decider” of each and every  one of your actions, reactions and finally, your destiny.  If you have been living a life that feels out of control and chaotic, I can assure you that  the underlying reason is fear. It might be fear of the unknown, fear of being vulnerable,  fear of making decisions or a thousand other fears you manifest in your mind that aren’t  even real.  I can also assure you that there is only one way to break free of the upsetting controls  of fear and move into a life filled with richness and abundance. You must claim the
powerful fact that you are the “decider”. This one decision has the potential to absolutely  transform the course of your destiny forever! You must decide if you will:

A. Live as if life just “happens” to you, or B. Live life embracing the truth that you are  “powerful beyond measure”.

Are you willing to decide, right now, to consciously and intentionally embrace the power  you hold?

Are you ready to decide to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous?

Are you ready to decide to let your light shine?

I can tell you from first-hand knowledge in my life and the lives of the people I meet,  choosing to live your life as a “decider” is as magical as realizing, for the first time,  that you have wings!

Are you ready, seriously ready, to be the “decider”?

If so, it really is the first day of a life like you’ve never experienced before!

In fact, it’s the first day of a life that those around you have never experienced before!

I leave you, “driver” of your life, with these words:   “No one can predict to what heights you can soar. Even you will not know until you  spread your wings.”
