Many a times people go through insurmountable challenges and glorious wins, but rarely people ask, is it my doing or was I destined? Destiny is NOT created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take.
So why do successful people always (well mostly) say that they are blessed?
Yes, it is a fact that there will always be things which are way beyond your control and you will mostly be handling stuff which was not your creation. However, taking action, is in your hands and more importantly in your mind. When someone says they are blessed, it only means they recognise, that ALL their success is not, ONLY, their doing.
It sounds so simple then why can’t most people get what they want?
Yes, it’s simple but not easy. Why? Because there is this BIG DEMON inside you, which will work against when you start taking those baby steps.
The demon of past karma, action, habit, conditioning whatever you may call it. You decide one day, that I will loose this belly fat, and sign up for a gym membership, and even pay the yearly charges.
Challenge starts when you try to make those small changes in your existing routine, waking up a little early or taking a detour in the evening, missing sleep-time or with friends and the list goes on.
Karoly Takacas, the left handed shooter who won the Olympic Gold-Twice
Let me share the story of Karoly Takacas, he had a burning desire to win an olympic gold, he was a member of the Hungarian while serving the army. On an unfortunate day a grenade exploded in his right hand and completely shattered it.
What do you think happened next, most of you in his situation would have cursed the accident and left the dream to become a fatalist, but he did NOT. He won the gold in not one but two Olympic Games in 1948 and 1952. He did not succumb to his situation, rather challenged it to achieve greater heights.
Do you have a burning desire for something or a dream which pushes your limits daily? If yes, then you will create the DESTINY of your CHOICE with the STEPS you take.
