"Fate is that, out of our hindsight, people keep repeating the same old patterns of suffering again and again. Destiny is that, out of reflection, you start to choose deliberate action course that will make you grow toward happiness and fulfillment. No one can bring us happiness except ourselves."
"That is destiny. We have the choice to make our destiny based on our decision today. If we chose the action course that will make us feel better and proud of ourselves, today, then, our tomorrow sure will be brighter. But if we choose to drift away with whatever comes along mindlessly, irresponsibly, then, we bound to repeat the same mistake, to the same fate, again and again while wondering why life is still so full of suffering despite your hard work. They often blame fate, parents, spouse, children, education, culture, society, etc, for their misery while real problem lies in our ignorance to look around ourselves."
"When we awaken to life, you suddenly realize that, you have all the things, people, jobs, etc, the right and perfect conditions for your best evolution and happiness. You can see with your own eyes that how you have been the very cause of your own misery and unhappiness. The past is past that which brought you here to the present moment. Whatever seems imperfect at the moment, you don’t repeat or feel remorseful but adjust the course so that it can bring you different destination. Why are we keep repeating yesterday’s thoughts and behaviors again and again today, while wondering better future never seem to be in the horizon? No one asked us to walk on the same foot- steps with our troubled past but we constantly duplicate what we have been exposed to, especially from the parents’ and cultural conditionings. It takes mindfulness and repentance to bypass our humpy bumpy road blocks that are marked with many wrong sign posts. That is true humanity, accepting our shortcomings at the same time resolving to improve."
Namaste !
