Monday Morning Motivation. #DESTINY

We are all searching for some amazing destiny, resembling the lives of some character or idol. We crave a moment in which we will not only face, but overcome a challenge gloriously, rise to the occasion to forever change life as we know it. Sadly, not everyone's destiny is this exciting; but they are all perfect. We all have a purpose. Preparing yourself to achieve this purpose is your only job in life. This was the way of life for the samurai, who would start training by the tender age of 5. They devoted every moment of their life to achieving their destiny. Like many of our ancestor they found something they were willing to die for and lived to preserve it, welcoming death not as the end to their life but as the fulfillment of their destiny.

 

We often reflect on the lives of our ancestors and label their way of living as dumb or crazy without even attempting to understand their reasoning. It is apparent, to those who investigate the lives of our ancestors, that they simply had a different meaning for existence; one more connected to nature and the world around them. They understood the fluidity the world and how deeply every living thing was connected and intertwined. That connection still remains in us. It is our intelligence, our spark.

 

 Love it, for it is your soul and it is beautiful. And it is your beautiful soul that will lead you to your destiny.

 

Your destiny could simply be an event in another person's life, but it is your destiny; be proud of it. Events are important. The interactions of life happen in small factions, we simply put more thought into some of them and relate certain images to others, the current conception of "events” or "occurrences". It is the culmination of these events that create our world. In order for the world to sustain itself you must achieve your destiny. If it lies in love then give your love the world and if you can’t give them the world then make one. Build them a waterfall to kiss under; it doesn’t have to be real or even expensive, it just has to be beautiful. If it lies in sports then give it your heart; work yourself to exhaustion just to get up and do it the next day. Let your blood sweat and tears act as the rain for your success, enriching your intensity and focus as they fall to the field. If it lies in music, sing until your lungs are exhausted, empty and over used. Create a sound that touches the soul and is built from the depths of your own soul. Regardless of what it is, find what is beautiful in your life, the thing you would give your life for, and commit yourself to it. Create an event, something that is beautiful and that inspires others to create an event for themselves. It is this beauty that you will see in your last minutes and it will be perfect.

 

So give life to life; it is your destiny.
