Hello people!! I hope you all are having good time. It’s just 2nd day of the week & most of us might be feeling as if the week is too long or month is too long. To get you out of that feeling I decided to take up an interesting topic which our mind and heart will always fight.
Destiny!!
We all believe in Destiny and we do have non believers as well who have become post traumatic events into their life or some other reasons. We also have people who are scared about their destiny as they dont know what will happen next into their life. Well we have few who are firm believer that ‘if it has to happen it will happen’. & no one can take what is meant for you.
Dreams!!
We all love dreams and dreaming. Some of us do day dreaming as well. We feel safe in our dreams as well, though we are accompanied by nightmares while we sleep. End of the day we love dreams. Dreams are the essence of life whether its for humans or animals, it means alot. In childhood we dream about what we want to become or we want a toy or we want out broken teeth back and so on. We also dream about food or ice cream or new clothes and friends. There is no stopping of dreams. We can dream whatever we like. There are dreams which are very specific like for career or relationship and we will do anything to achieve it. It is said that the one who have never dreamed has never lived. Our dreams break as well which leave us with pain and troubles, but once again we get up and dream and rebuild ourself.
So what is the difference between Destiny & Dreams?
We are told to dream when we are child or even if we are not when we dream we go and tell our parents or care taker. If we are blessed with good family then we are told how to navigate with it, if not then we are told not to dream anymore. When we dream and we feel from our heart that this is something I really want or something I really need. We put our full attention to it to make it happen. In other words our heart and soul into it to make it happen. When it happens we feel privilege and claim that it was part of my destiny which was suppose to happen.
We have another scenario where we have dreamt but it never worked out but something else had happened which we didnt liked it or we didnt expected it. After lot of fuss we accept it and consider as a part of our destiny which was not meant to happen. We may have regret in our life for not getting what we really want. Instead of overcoming that we live with it till the end of times. So if you notice both are connected or related in one way or the other.
When I ask ‘Is this your dream or your destiny? ‘
what I am trying to highlight is this you really want from your heart or from your mind
The answer lies within you. When you really dream of doing something or achieving in your life, where is your focus? Is it coming from heart or it is coming from Mind or it is coming from both? What is your real want and need? Is this what you wanted ? Is this what you are looking for? Is this dream worth a try? These are some of the deep questions one needs to ask themselves. There are times when we have dreamt for something but in the end we are leading to different path. We accept the new path as a part of our destiny or we adjust to it.
Let say, a person wanted to become a Surgeon. He gave all his best & even wasted his year to get into it but destiny had other plans for him. He couldnt become a doctor but became an artist who was struggling. He feels that if he was a doctor his struggles wouldnt be there in first place and destiny has played with him. To one extent we feel the same, but how we bounce back that is important. There are certain situations in life or circumstances or external factors which are not under our control. We still fight to overcome with the hope that we will be able to achieve it, but we forget in those period what energy are we putting into it? Are we putting same energy which we had done in the beginning? or are we putting energy which is out of fear? or are we putting energy where we ourself are not sure whether we really want this now? In the end our destiny will take us where we actually meant be whether we like it or not.
So now next time when you are chasing your dreams whether its a realistic or unrealistic or whether some coach told you that you can do anything, remember to ask yourself whether is this your destiny you want or its just a dream which you have ? When you are true to those questions everything will fall in place and you no longer have to face adverse effects or regrets.
Destiny is a specific future or outcome that results from a predetermined or inevitable course of events. It is also called as fate. We can change our destiny by working on our true dreams, but what is meant to be will always happen this way or the other way.
