Our lives are frequently taken up with abstract thoughts of destiny and what might be and as a result we allow ourselves to be little more than driftwood on that great ocean of life. This is because most fail to take control of their lives in any meaningful way.

I am not talking here about day to day decisions that all of us must make in the material world. This is about your dreams and ambitions and the need to be totally fulfilled in whatever you choose to do with your time.

Your thoughts control your actions and if you truly want to be the master or mistress of your own destiny then you need to be in charge of them. They have the ability to deliver real meaning in your life and you have the power to create that reality.

The problem is that most of us are too weighed down with life to find time for dreams. Yes, we have all heard about positive thinking – tried that, did not work – so all you are left with is chance and maybe a lucky break.

I will get back as to why positive thinking has maybe not worked for you, but for the moment I would like to sow another little seed regarding the concept of destiny. Some writers believe that we are on the planet to learn. It’s a question I cannot answer with any certainty but it would make sense and if we assume that my fellow writers are correct, then it would be essential and desirable to take charge of the process.

So back we come to positive thinking and if it is to work for you then you must be ready to combine it with action and common sense. Most people fail to get anything from positive thinking because they only use it to manifest material things, little realising that it is the total package that counts.

If you are to fulfil your destiny then you have to be positive about yourself, you have to set common sense realistic goals and you have to be prepared to incorporate some kind of action to help the great Amazon of the Universe deliver those dreams.

As an example, what is the point is trying to attract financial success if your secret inner voice is telling you that you are unworthy. What is the point if you do not feel and act like a wealthy person; what is the point if you have not set realistic targets and what is the point if you are just sitting back waiting for something to happen – that is not what positive thinking is about.

Whether or not you believe that you have a purpose in life or that destiny will guide you in some mysterious way, you must take control of the process. Only you can do this and if it helps then write everything down – other blogs on this website will guide you through the process – but whatever happens, make sure you know exactly what it is that you want.

That Great Amazon of the Universe is a very literal place. It is a warehouse packed with goodies ready to deliver directly to your door but you have to get the order just right or the computer is going to say no – and when that occurs you will lose faith in the process and will no longer be in charge.

It is you destiny we are talking about here and you can make it happen and when you do you will find the real reason you were placed on this earth. Things will magically unfold and you will attract what you need to deliver your dreams.

So if you really want to find out why you are here then all it needs is a positive thought and a little bit of effort to make sure it’s delivered – are you ready?
