Destiny

Aspiration
Today, I will explore the first step in changing our DNA and it begins with Destiny.
What is destiny? Destiny is the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events. It is also the power or agency that determines the course of events. Note the second definition.
“The power or agency that determines the course of events.” Within you is the ability to create either positive or negative outcomes. If you are traveling on the road from Memphis, TN to Little Rock, AR there is a certain highway you must take. It has already been mapped out as the most effective route to take. Deviating from that course will bring about alternatives. And so it is with you.
Deciding to spend your life in a particular job can naturally result in predetermined situations. If it is a good job with plenty of potential, the outcome is obvious … you will be successful. If the job is routine and you are a spontaneous person you will eventually become so dissatisfied with your job that it will overflow into your personal life and affect your productivity.
Choosing to leave that job may seem to you as a drastic alternative. However consider what it will mean if you stay. You will become bitter, your blood pressure will increase as will your heart rate. You will lose interest in the things that are important to you and eventually you will die a premature death. Leaving is hard and caused you as well as your family to make lifestyle adjustments but in the final analysis you have cheated death of its early prize.
As learning to walk begins with taking tiny steps so does changing your destiny. It could be as simple has finding an alternate route to work. Admire the scenery, put on some relaxing music. As you begin to feel confident you will discover that you are changing your DNA.
