\u201cDestiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not something to be waited for.\u00a0 It is something to be achieved.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> William Jennings Bryan. As we move into a new year – who or what is in control of your life, your future, and your destiny?\u00a0 The past? A previous or current relationship? A former mistake, failure, or success? A recent accomplishment?\u00a0 Avoidance of rejection? Or – – – something or someone else? Everyone lives each minute of each day according to a few rules, expectations, beliefs, behaviors, and\/or attitudes.\u00a0 Some of them are the need for the approval of others, the passion to contribute, the need for survival, the hope for success and happiness, the desire for security. And so many others. This year what will be a few of the primary current or past contributors \u2013 either people or circumstances that will have a significant impact on your future life and destiny?<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn\u2019t do than the ones you did do.\u00a0 So, throw off the bowlines.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sail away from the safe harbor.\u00a0 Catch the trade winds in your sails.\u00a0 Explore, Dream Discover \u2013 while you still can\u201d<\/em><\/strong> <\/span>Mark Twain. This quote relates to – far too many people.\u00a0 They wait, they, make excuses, they blame, they lack courage, they live with guilt and regret or they focus on the wrong goals or motives. I know, I am guilty. As life proceeds, the price of this approach is too high. Waiting is stupid. Dreams, goals, hopes, plans, and desires happen only when we act. We are here for a short time and then we are gone forever. What are you waiting for?\u00a0 What are you putting off?\u00a0 What are your excuses to fix, change, start, or stop something in your life? Who are you waiting for and why? Oh, so many questions!<\/p>\n

\u201cLogical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of the wise.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/span>Thomas Huxley. Every action, choice, decision, attitude, behavior and yes inaction has a consequence. Some happen immediately while others can take years to play out.\u00a0 Some outcomes are positive while others are negative.\u00a0 We can\u2019t control every outcome from every circumstance but we can do our part to try and contribute to better consequences. The approach we use is what matters.\u00a0 Your choices – you can only use your mind, education, and experience. You can only use your heart and emotions or you can only use your divine guidance.\u00a0 The answer to improving the life consequences and outcomes that are within your control is – using all three as a guide \u2013 a blending of mind, heart, and spirit as you choose, decide and act and move into your future hoping for better life outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
