You are Master of Your Destiny
Those people who always curse their luck at the face of misfortunes, please remember that you are hundred percent responsible for what you are in your life. You have made your destiny by your own hands. Your past has made your present. Your present will make your future. What you are experiencing today is the fruits of what you have done in the past. Future is still in your hand provided if you are cautious enough to keep your present in order. Hence, never curse your luck for misfortunes but face the reality boldly. Accepting self-responsibility for your life and the realization that your thoughts, words and actions are the mould for your future, can bring about a major change in your attitude towards life.
Further you have the power with you to even modify and alter your present destiny also. You needn’t be helpless slave in the hands of destiny. By exercising positive thinking and making actual physical efforts with firm determination and will power against various obstacles, you can defeat the forces of destiny. If you can also surrender yourself to God, then it becomes further easier to detach from the wheel of destiny because of divine help available to you at every step.
Thus it is not necessary to revolve endlessly in the wheel of destiny like a gaily slave. You have the power to come out of this wheel and control it instead of being controlled by it. As your level of consciousness rises, the hold of the destiny over you goes on loosening. That is why spiritually enlightened persons are not afraid of destiny at all. They are at a level where they are not moved by the things but they themselves move the things. They have the handle of the wheel of destiny in their hands by which they can change the fixed conditions. Destiny works as their servant unlike all of us where destiny works as a master and we as its servants.
There is another dimension of it also. Once you achieve a high level of consciousness and mental control, you don’t get affected by adverse destiny. You can withstand it calmly instead of breaking down as happens with weak-minded person. Your reaction and attitude towards adversities of life totally changes. You don’t take them seriously and don’t question them. You realize that they have come in accordance with certain law and will also disappear after sometimes. Thus by detaching yourself and by stepping back and looking all these adversities like an observer, you remain mentally stable. It is only in the mind where you feel all sorts of pains, frustrations, worries, anxieties, fears etc. Once you control your mind, all these circumstances will loose hold on you and will surrender at your feet.
