Dreams and Destiny

Waking up to your destiny is about finding your path; it is about letting yourself be led by instinct, emotion, feeling, knowledge, and with what feels right. Destiny is not about control or how you see things. Instead, it is about becoming part of where and who you should be; it is not about what you are forcing yourself to be and do. Destiny is a word we use to give meaning to our lives. It is what we are meant for, where we belong in our life. We tend to think it is something we have to find or adjust; yet, simply put, it is already part of you, inside of you, and it speaks to you constantly, not out loud, but from within, by what attracts you, what stirs you, and what, deep within, speaks to your mind and heart. It is a feeling of trusting yourself to follow what you desire, whether it be big or small; it is a preference you can feel.
It is letting your intuition guide you and accepting that fate is not all controlling, for if this were so, wouldn’t you already be living the life you were meant for? Wouldn’t your happiness already prevail if your destiny was truly aligned with your being in the life you are leading now? If it doesn’t feel this way, then perhaps you have stopped listening to yourself along the way. Remember as a child when you were asked what do you want to be when you grow up? We always seemed to have an answer. At a young age, we could dream and adults were curious at what we thought we would be. As we got older, somehow our dreams became more and more confined as we tried to become more and more realistic with our options and choices. Perhaps our ideas seemed silly or even beyond imagination, and yet at that time we were perfectly happy to envision ourselves at work with what we dreamed, living inside our fantasies.
As we grow up, we tend to give up on our dreams, on our fantasies, and yet this is our heart speaking to us. Our options are not so defined by what we think we need to do. Life is open, but only as open as we make it. If you were to listen to yourself and were not afraid to dream again, where would your thoughts go, what would you say if someone asked what do you want to be when you grow up, where do you want to live? Perhaps we already know, we just have put it aside for later use. Or perhaps you do not know. If you can be open again, really feel within what you need, like, love and dream about, you can find your way.
