When I look back at my life, I realize that my sense of destiny was directing me at an early age. I’ve known since I was a child that I could manifest abundance into my life. While sitting in high school and college classrooms where I was bored to death by teachers who conveyed their lack of passion in their dreary presentations, I dreamed of talking to large audiences. I vowed in those youthful days that I’d live my passion, and somehow knew that I was here for a reason. I couldn’t allow anyone or anything to deter me from my path. I’ve always sensed that I’m really an infinite soul, disguised at various times as a husband, father, author, lecturer, and balding six-foot plus American male. Because I live on the active side of infinity, I have a sense of destiny that won’t allow me to die with my music still in me.
You can make the same kinds of choices. Just let go of the idea that you’re a body that’s destined to die, and instead seek an awareness of your immortal self. On the active side of infinity you’ll find your greater self, of which a small part has materialized as your body. I guarantee you that simply recognizing yourself as an infinite and therefore indestructible being, your connection to intention and the ability to manifest all that you desire within the confines of your universal Source will become your reality. There’s no other way.
Your sense of destiny lets you know that you’re playing this game of life on the active side of infinity. Prior to accessing your sense of destiny, your motivation was what you wanted out of life and what you’d like to do. On the active side of infinity, you realize that it’s time to do what your destiny intended you to do. Wallowing around hoping things will work out, waiting for your luck to change, and hoping others will come through for you no longer feels right. Your sense of destiny allows you to realize, I am eternal, and that means that I showed up here from the infinitude of spiritual intention to fulfill a destiny that I must act on. You begin stating your objectives in the language of intention, knowing they’ll materialize. You enlist the power of intention to keep you on track. It can’t fail because there’s no failure in the infinite.
This 13th-century poem may inspire you to know you have your destiny:
You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings. Learn to use them and fly. — Rumi
