Creating One’s Destiny: Notable Quotes on How You Can Work On Your Life

The saying goes, “Our destiny is in our own hands.” But how far this is true is a moot question indeed!

People believe that they control their choices and that their actions matter in response to what fate offers them. The human race is here to learn lessons, and the hard decisions one has to make are what help him grow as a human. A person’s destiny is not something he can sit by and let happen to him.

Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way. How practical it is in today’s context is something that is to be scrutinized threadbare. People always believed that one could shape his destiny to their liking through hard work and perseverance. But, when you do not succeed even after working hard and persevering, you lose faith in these values and feel that destiny has something else in store for you. You feel like no matter how you work hard and persevere, destiny controls you and your future, and you are liable to follow it demurely. 

Destiny is your potential waiting to happen. It is the top tier in the grand scheme of possibilities and where your dreams come true. There are countless tracks that one can take. But not all of them lead up to the destination station to which you have to return in time.

Notable Quotes (and lines) to Ponder on How You Can Work On Your Life

“The power to transform, transcend, and create a perfect life is innate.” This line is from Jocelyne Ranucci’s From Childhood to Christhood: A Journey into Universal Divine Consciousness. Ranucci implied that you are a creator of your destiny and that you can learn to love and accept yourself deeply and leave the destructive patterns of the past behind. The Ascended Masters on Ranucci’s book leads her readers to self-discovery. Her book gives them the tools, knowledge, and inspiration. Gathering wisdom from such teachers of the law of attraction, theosophy, and mysticism, as H. P. Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Saint Germain, and other ascended masters such as Buddha, Atman, Abraham, and Christ can change yourself and your life.  

“I do believe that one way to have a destiny is to choose one.” Melinda McGraw tells humanity that all have control over their destiny. Although “fate” and “destiny” mean similar things, they are pretty different. Yes, fate is what puts opportunities in front of a person, but your decisions ultimately determine your destiny. 

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Bestselling author and spiritual teacher Deepak Chopra say people need a new way of looking at free will and fate. He believes that both are influential in one’s life. And that although fate might appear to have more influence over you, the balance keeps shifting the more you learn about it, so you might as well assume that your potential for mastery is much more significant than anyone now supposes. This is similar to how one believes their decisions can shape their destiny.

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.” It can be hard to think of your destiny as separate from your fate if you become accustomed to letting it lead your path. Many people look at life with a “what will be, will be” attitude. However, if you expect it as something you have control over, you can take deliberate actions to create your desired destiny. William Shakespeare means being true to yourself and not being passive or only following other people’s opinions. Being and remaining authentic is the best way to determine not just any destiny but also the one meant for YOU. Fate presents you with the opportunity to create it. All you have to do is decide what destiny you want.

“Control your own destiny, or someone else will.” Jack Welch’s quote lets you think that it is better to believe you can control your destiny by making conscious, deliberate decisions than just being passive bystanders in your own lives. This leads back to creating a life for yourself that aligns with your authenticity. With the same attention you use to build your brand, you can shape your destiny. Do not sit back and let someone or something else guide you along; take the wheel and drive towards your destination — your destiny!
