Who says destiny cannot be changed



On many occasions, I have heard people saying that whatever  is destined in  life, it will happen accordingly. This statement sometimes in the form of assertion from these people  is completely baseless. Your destiny will definitely take you from one shore to the other shore, from one phase to the other, from best to worst or vice-versa, but if you want to achieve more than something ordinary, you can do so by increasing your efforts and in this process, you can change your destiny. It is in your hand. How you exercise your choice and how intelligent is the choice you select, your rate of success depends on the same. You come across many things in your life as per the destiny. This is a fact. But how you meet and accrue the benefit, it depends on the power of your willpower. By your determination, perseverance, integrity and stubborn mental frame, you can change the intensity of the bad situation supposed to which you are destined. You can even change the bad to a favorable one provided you are really very serious in your efforts. Our religious beliefs lead us to opine that omnipotent power of God makes rain to drop to the earth. This rainfall creates a soothing effect to all living and non-living beings.  The effect of good rain causes seeds to bloom, get nourished and produce grain for the benefits of human beings and even animals. Similarly, our mind is the abode of various desires like different seeds. These desires grow, take shape to express and fulfill the same as per the norms stipulated by the societies. When thoughts provoke our desires and grow as seeds and produce good qualities of thoughts, our mind will be rendered with a fragrant garden full of  blooming flowers. This is only possible  when your thoughts yield effective and moral desires. The tremendous rainfall sometimes making lives of human beings dangerous due to flood, but the same rainfall if challenged though proper and scientific method of harvesting, it can make the avid and infertile lands into fruitful cultivation. By good thoughts and intelligent choice of every opportunity, each and every situation can be converted from a bad to a good one.

If you want to succeed in your life, don’t depend on your luck alone. You have to understand the pattern of movement, which is happening in your life. It is almost like a  forward and lateral movement of a two wheeler on a road.  The fuel is instrumental to push the vehicle forward, whereas the driver controls the lateral movement.  This forward push is termed as destiny and the lateral effort is your choice. If your choice is to drive the vehicle after drinking heavily or in a fidgety manner, what will be the consequence, anyone can understand.  Contrarily, if the driver is agile, he can move the vehicle in the correct direction safely and in time. We all have tremendous potentialities to discover our latent abilities ingrained in us. We have to control and put our these abilities to identify one or two potentialities and make it grow to the benefits of self and others.

We will be more successful, if we are able to transform our behavior and character intelligently, but not haphazardly. It is not that important how much talent do we have?  How far we are successful to identify the existing talent and explore the same for the good purpose of development. You may have many talents, but your non-identification and non-use of the same will make you a failure.  The successful people, who are able to identify some of his talents, nurture and use them and become well known and reputed.  What we regularly do, think, preach and practice shows the strength of our character and ultimately our destiny.  Even it is pre-decided, it can be changed by changing our regular activities, which mostly shadow our lives.  So, entire destiny, even it is pre-decided, is in our palm.  We must develop  enough  courage and tenacity to rebuild our future.

The law of Karma and the law of success are the vital forces to enrich our lives when we are able to understand this philosophy correctly. These laws are the art of livings and we are the architectures to decide the same. God has never told us that you only engage in worshipping and don’t do anything or procrastinate. He advises to do all your deeds correctly and religiously and then remember Him for his blessings.  If we are weak, we are not able to identify our talents,  we are not interested to grow our seeds of talents and then scream that God has sent us in this world with  bad destinies, who can bring in a change in our life?  It is not because of destiny, it is basically because of our wrong actions.  In the past, when we are young, we must have carried out many wrongdoings  and now, at present, we are suffering the consequences of the same; giving blame to our destinies. Don’t worry, it is never too late.  By starting today also, you can alter your destiny through the divine values of love, tolerance, mercy and kindness while searching your talent and exercise the same vigorously.  You have to only adopt a self management, right procedure, positive attitude, do or die determination to follow the laws of Karma to the best of the best of your abilities; you will be able to change your future even though for a short period. In this short period, you can change many things, which was  earlier creating stumbling block in the path of your progress because you were under the illusion that you have a bad destiny. You can always change your destiny, the only thing required is  your zeal and motto with a die-hard determination.
