My Thoughts on Destiny

 “You can create your destiny - the power is within you!” - Destiny Hankerson

I think that there are many ways to view destiny, and I like to take a positive view of it. I don’t think we have to see destiny in a fatalistic, depressing way. Although I do think certain things in life are destined to happen, I think we also have the power to create our own destinies through our choices, ideas, beliefs, and actions. We walk through this universe, seeking to understand it and live a life of meaning. No matter where we come from, we all wonder about whether we have a deeper purpose for being on this planet. I believe we do have a purpose, a destiny we can create and fulfill.

This view of destiny brings you into the role of an active participant in creating your life and universe. You don’t control everything, but you do control how you see the world, and the many different choices you make in your life. You can create a positive destiny for yourself and use that to inspire yourself and others.

I think that the universe itself has a destiny, a consciousness and purpose that we may not always understand, but that must have existed before we even came here. I feel this destiny is beyond our ideas of time and space. It’s something that will continue to exist long after we are no longer on the planet.

The universe was made from love, and will continue in love. It’s creating its own amazing destiny!
