DESTINY MANIFESTO

Wednesday Apr. 12, 2017

 

T/F: Our destiny is totally random.

T/F: Our destiny is something we rehearse, the manifest.

Both true, both false, one of each – what do you think?

My vote – ‘intertwined mess/masterpiece’ – only have experiences that flow our way, or ones we go looking for.

About rehearsing – some something we all understand; actors rehearse, sports team practice, athletes of every stripe train, business planners project, business operators budget, economists forecast and writers draft.

Do you: Go to work. Go home. Go to work. Go home. Go to work. Go home. Take weekend to rest. Go back to work. Go on vacation. Go to work. Go home. Retire. The end.

Belief, work, luck – all factors, as are visualization, self-esteem and dreams.

Your future begins tomorrow. Are you rehearsing?

Fear not, things almost never end up the way they start.

Yes totally agree! Very good advice esp. in tough markets!, JB, Airdrie, AB
