Bits of Wisdom Podcast #28

“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” William Jennings BryanWe have a lot more control over our lives than this world leads us to believe. This is something I have to continue to remind myself of. The opposite is true of anything else. We’ve got a lot less control over anyone or anything other than ourselves.Our personal destiny is something we have great control over, IF, we take it. This destiny begins with our thoughts. Quoting The Apostle Paul, we should, ‘Take every thought captive.’The way to our destiny begins in our minds. Quoting James Allen via King Solomon, once called the wisest man on Earth, ‘As a man thinketh, so is he.’These seven words, as a man thinketh, so is he, hold the power of personal destiny in them. The power in our thoughts is limitless, so we must question, why we are limited. Which beliefs are we allowing to limit our destiny? What scripts are we running through our minds? When we identify our limiting beliefs, we can take them captive and re-write them. If we do this, we will alter the course of our destiny. This was true in Solomon’s day, 900 years before Christ. It was true in 1903 when James Allen wrote As a Man Thinketh, and it is still true today. So remember, destiny is not a matter of chance. It’s a matter of choice. It’s not something we wait for. It’s something we decide on and achieve.If these bits of wisdom have positively impacted you, share them with someone else. Join me in planting good seeds.
