Okay, this will be part of my definitive series of articles on Destiny.
In my earlier blog I asked the question, What if it’s not in your destiny to be wealthy?
Now, notice how destiny is related to the word destination?
destinatio -onis f. [fixing , determining, appointment].
destino -are [to make fast , fix down; to fix, determine, settle, appoint]; with infin., [to resolve to do]; of persons, [to appoint] to an office; of things, [to fix upon, intend to buy]. Hence partic. destinatus -a -um, [fixed, determined]; n. as subst., [an objective or intention]; ‘(ex) destinato’, [intentionally].

When I read tarot cards for others, I saw very clear destinies for my clients. But I would ALWAYS stress to them that this is NOT written in stone. The cards simply revealed where their current momentum was taking them, but if they were to put in some effort and determination, the course could be altered.
We have various sayings that recognise the truth in this.
“If you’re going to do what you’ve always done, then you’re going to get what you always have”.
And, in psychology, “The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour”.
You see, we tend to get locked into patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. Those patterns carry us forward, if allowed to, so it’s very easy to determine your most likely outcomes. Or, if you prefer, your destiny.
FACT: Scientists have confirmed the existence of at least 11 dimensions – maybe up to 21.
FACT: Scientists believe in parallel or alternative universes.
Google the term “String Theory” to find out more, if you want to learn more. Or see what Youtube offers.
So what I’m saying is that there ARE different endings you can guide your life to. Even different paths you can take, and different NOWS you can live.
That is the power of your FREE WILL. If you’re feeling like you’re being swept along the freeway of life, you can decide which exit to take, and find your own roads to travel.
The choice IS yours.
