The Way of Destiny - Part 2

 “When things are going our way, we go with the flow.”

“When things are not going our way, we take it easy.”

These are the simple rules to live by. Yes, the rules are simple but why make things complicated?  If life is to be like water, we would all be flowing in a sea of change, whether we like it or not. Water is always flowing even if it seems calm on the surface. We should learn to adapt by being flexible like water. In time of change, resistance is futile and the best we can do is to channel our effort towards it and by doing so, we can move in the path of least resistance.

We have the resource that is in our head to think of ways to manage change. The resource within us can empower us to face change with courage and not be deterred by it. This is important for the sake of progress because when we embrace change, we pick up new skills and knowledge that contribute to our success. Our survival depends on our ability to adapt to change but we can only be truly successful if we thrive at what we do despite our preconceived notion and dogmas. This is where our habits and character can be our stumbling blocks to change.

To change our destiny, we need to change our character, our ability and desire. These are three factors that are interwoven into our psyche and mindset. It was postulated that whatever the mind perceives and believes, it can achieve. However, for our thoughts to become a reality, it takes more than just wishful thinking and determination. We need to use our ability and feed our desire to be the person of our dream even though we are the embodiment of our own character. It is an uphill task and go against the flow of nature when we try to change our destiny.

Destiny cuts across four dimensions in the realms of human endeavours – the physical, mental, emotion and spiritual. Each of the three factors involve all or some of these dimensions where time and space exist. Everything in life is time and space. We cannot manage time, but we can manage the activities within a timeframe and space. This is where our mindset is a playground of hopes, dreams, desires, and aspirations. When we change our focus, we change our thoughts to produce an outcome. Our mind is the centre of life force known as Qi. Where our thoughts go, Qi follows. To flow with Qi, we need to be like water. Being flexible and adaptable to change, we are not bound by conventions, dogmas, or self-limiting beliefs.

When the truth is revealed to us in the form of change, we should accept it unconditionally and face it with resourceful courage. The resources that nature has equipped us with in the form of our physique, mind, emotion, and spirituality are for us to tapped into for embracing change courageously. Only then can we hope to change our destiny for the better.
