How Do You Shape Your Destiny? By Jessie Torres

Making a Conscious Choice

It was Will Smith that said, “Being realistic is the most common road to mediocrity”. If this is true, then how do we gauge what being realistic is? When asking that question, it prompts the thought, “Realistic, compared to what?”, “Realistic, compared to who?”

How often do we gauge our reality around what others think or believe? Is it by statistics, the media, our family, our friends? What’s worse is that when we accept other people’s version of reality we then get on board the conveyor belt of life. Accepting, behaving and reacting to what we have been conditioned to believe. Which then puts us in the effect not the cause of our life and experiences. We make decisions based on social conditioning or other people’s version of us to the point that we lose ourselves and FORGET that we have a choice.

What if we jumped off the conveyor belt, just for a second?

What would happen? What if by jumping off we get to see another way? A different way than what we were used to? What if it is better? What if it feels AMAZING? What if it is the gateway that puts you at the cause of your life and unleashes limitless possibilities? A world that in the past, was unimaginable. A world that is created by your design with the reality that you CHOOSE to have in your life.

The secret is…..wait for it……..YOU GET TO CHOOSE!!

Living by everyone else’s standard is exhausting and continuously steers you away from the power, radiance and the unlimited capabilities of your own spirit! The possibilities are endless, there is nothing about you that is limited except the belief that there is a limitation.

Take a peek, step outside the conveyor belt and ride the magic carpet ride of your life and how you want to create it.

Tony Robbins says, “It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped”.

Once you DECIDE to look and see what is available, your destiny begins and your human potential is unleashed. The minute the ignition is lit, it is yours forever and you will never go back. Fuel it, fan the fire of your brilliant light and watch the richness of your life unfold.

Isn’t it worth taking a peek?
