We had no choice in the decision of what family we were born
into. It just happened by chance or maybe we call it destiny or fate; any which
way, we had no say in the matter and had no control over where we were placed.
Does that make us helpless to what life throws at us and therefore just follow
that path wherever it may lead? Sometimes I sit and wonder when I hear people
say its destiny and then I say to myself if things are destined to be the way
they are, then is there any point striving? Maybe I can just sit, watch and
things will just happen the way they had been planned from inception. Even
decisions made which led to certain outcomes people still call fate. Oh yes! I
believe its fate or destiny either which can be used interchangeably and this
is because WE as individuals shape OUR destiny!
Our choices make us who we are and paths a way to a
destination that aligns with our thoughts, beliefs, activities and actions. We
didn’t choose our place of origin and initial habitat neither did you mould
your brain capacity from inception. Decisions made in our growing years were largely
by our parents and that also shaped us into what they wanted us to be or what
they felt was right and good for us. It definitely did get to a point in our
life when we started shaping ourselves bit by bit moulding our destiny. If not
appealing to us, we then blame the environment, our background and a host of
other excuses. Let’s not get it twisted and actually take charge of who we are
and project to be because no matter how much we put the blame on surrounding
factors, it is YOU that carry the image and wallow in the situation.
The principle of equifinality explains that a state or goal
can be reached by many potential means. A desired situation can be reached from
different initial conditions and in different ways. There are therefore different
routes in achieving one same destination. All that need be done is to look out
for what works depending on our environment as well as the available resources.
Nothing should hold us back from turning our potentials into purpose. It’s OUR
CHOICE
...look at your life! ...look at your Choices!
