Destiny is a mathematical calculation
10:00
People often think that destiny is a mysterious thing, an elusive entity or a powerful deity that can take over a human life and shape it according to a plan that is outside people's control.
Nonsense.
Destiny is simply a mathematical calculation that even a 14-year-old teenager can compute.
Here's what I mean.
Everything in life works according to a cycle, and the purpose of these unstoppable cycles (like the sun setting every night and rising again every morning) is to allow human beings to predict what will happen in their world and in their lives.
Similarly, every day repeats itself more or less, and you get in a year what you basically got yesterday (except that the quantity is 365 times what you received yesterday).
If your job was boring yesterday, expect 364 more days of boring work. If you didn't meet anyone (who could be a special someone) yesterday, expect to meet no one in the next 364 days. If you've wasted one hour watching a mind-degrading reality show or mediocre talk show yesterday, expect to waste 364 more hours over the next year (well, okay, it's less than that since there's no talk show on week-ends, but you know what I mean).
In other words, existence obeys Newtonian mechanics with clockwork predictability. Yes, I'm saying that destiny IS predictable!
I can look at how a person managed his career last week, or his business yesterday, and I can easily predict whether he will succeed or fail over the next 365 days. It's not rocket science.
Why are people so predictable?
It's not that they're stupid or ignorant. Most people are intelligent. But to succeed big time, you need a second sort of intelligence, one that will constantly MONITOR and CORRECT your natural intelligence.
Similarly, the best tennis players in the world, no matter how talented they are, need a professional coach in order to show them the REALITY of their performance.
Like Dr Phil says, you have to get real before you can get smart, and you have to get smart before your life gets better.
Unless you have a budget of $10,000 and spend 3 hours with a personal transformational guru like Anthony Robbins, your life will probably go on the way it's been going on for the last 3 to 5 years. Nothing much will change.
By the same token, Robbins himself said that "decision is destiny."
The question is, Who decides what your life will be like? More in the next posting.
