Live Your Destiny Now Through Decisions and Actions

Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind. George Wright III here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. It's Monday morning. Let's go ahead and get your week off to an amazing start. I want to start you with the quote of the day. And the quote of the day is by Denzel Washington. And he said, if you don't fail, you're not even trying. And that is such a great quote because so many of us fail because we're not even trying. And if you don't fail, then you're not even trying because failure is part of the process. So I hope you remind yourself of that every day. So today's Monday, we're going to talk about some prosperity principles and we're going to go back to the program that my mentor and business partner, Robert Stuber, created, which is called Creating Your Ultimate Destiny. I'll just kind of remind you that the first 12 weeks of the year, we want to focus on this creating your ultimate destiny blueprint because it's something that I think can really, really help you to create a great foundation for your mindset, your principles, your wealth, your relationships, communication, everything that you want to create in your life. And last week, we talked about what's your ultimate destiny. And we talked about having that destiny be a key factor in creating your blueprint. And today we're going to talk about how to live your destiny now through your decisions. So I want to give you, in case you didn't get it, I want you to go back and listen to that podcast from last Monday. But just as a quick review, when we talk about what your ultimate destiny is, we've really, really thought about this idea that destiny is whatever you want it to be. And it starts with knowing that you are powerful, that you have the ability to create your life. And destiny and life are shaped by your beliefs because everything that you do is gonna be influenced by your beliefs. Now, you can't always control events in your life, but you can certainly control the meaning that you give these events. So to shape your beliefs, you have to become super aware of the meaning and filter that you put on everything that happens in your life. And when you do that, you can make major, major changes and you can really truly start to create your destiny. And last week, we also left with the idea, don't pursue your happiness levels pursue your destiny because pursuing happiness is kind of a never-ending process that will bring no fulfillment whereas pursuing your destiny things that you love will bring you the happiness so this week i want to talk to you a little bit about this second principle of living your destiny right now and the way you do that is through your decisions and your actions you know robert mentioned before that the great medieval philosopher and theologian St Thomas Aquinas said three things are necessary for the salvation of man to know what he ought to believe, to know what he ought to desire, and to know what he ought to do. And I believe, and I believe that through this process of creating your ultimate destiny, you can define and live your own unique destiny. But you have to get started, and you have to get really clear on what it is you want your destiny to be. And then it's a very simple process of following some specific steps. You've got to decide what you want your desire and your life to look like. Then you have to decide what beliefs, as we talked about last week, are going to lead you to fulfilling that desire. And you have to learn to build and adopt those beliefs. Once you do that, you can decide the actions that you need to take and you have to do it and take all out massive action. So these decisions and actions are so critical. And it seems simple. I mean, this process does seem simple, but it really does require an awareness and a commitment to the awareness of what type of beliefs that are influencing your decisions and your ability to commit and stay consistent with decisions that you make in your life. So let's break it down a little bit here. The first step is the most important. It clearly and truly is you have to decide what you want your life to be like. And so many of us don't really know what to do in order to pursue our destiny because we don't know what the whole journey is going to look like. We don't know what our true passion and purpose is. You know, when I got started in this whole arena of personal development and financial education, I really didn't have any idea that I was going to end up in the place where I would have a daily mastermind community and global influence and individuals listening from all around the world. And I didn't need to know that. What you just need to know is you need to know what it is that you're passionate about and you need to know what your life, what you want your life to look like. And then you don't have to get caught up in how you're going to get there. But there are two challenges that I think a lot of people face. And maybe these are challenges you've had as well. And that is you've got to not get caught up in your actual purpose, destiny right off the bat, because this can evolve over time. Number one, maybe there's something just stirring inside you. Maybe there's something that you feel missing. Maybe there's something that you feel is lacking in your life. And that's one of the sources of moving you forward with your destiny, whereas a lot of people just get caught up and lost in that. Or maybe you know what it is that you want to do, but you don't believe it's possible. Maybe there something that you been wanting to do for a while There a business or a thought or a passion you want to follow but you just don see how you can make that your destiny Don let either of those two scenarios get you caught up or keep you or stop you from taking action or creating belief. Because taking action and creating belief are ongoing things. They're not things that you have to have certainty for to move forward. All you have to have certainty of is that you have the power and you have the greatness inside you to make your dreams a reality. That's the only thing you need to be certain of. And the power is inside you to create your life. Remember this, you have the power to be, to decide to be happy anytime you choose. There's no thing outside. There's no circumstance outside that requires happiness. You have the power to be happy and choose to be happy. You just have to realize, and like I said before, decide that. Make that decision that that's what you're going to believe. Because when you make the decision, your beliefs will start to validate themselves. When you decide ahead of time that you're uncertain, your beliefs will validate your uncertainty and you can't do that. So what are the tricks to managing your happiness and your desires of what you want in the future is not to make the mistake of letting short-term happiness stop you from moving forward. I remember as I was early on in my career, I was doing a lot of sales and I was seeing a lot of success. I was starting to make a lot of money. and what happens is sometimes we get complacent. We get comfortable. And see, when you're just chasing a destination or a goal or a recognition level or an income, that's what happens. You can get complacent. But when you're chasing your destiny, when you're chasing something that you believe is a core inside of you, you'll realize that both happiness and destiny are an ongoing journey and it's a way of life, not a destination or a level of income or a thing that you're going to get. Make happiness and destination your destiny, a journey. Make it a journey so that you feel like you're ongoing and growing and developing all the time. Now you can grow and develop both your current happiness now and your desires of the future by doing a couple of things. Number one, focus on something that you love. Make your focus be something that you know you're going to enjoy doing. And second, make it a huge part of your daily life. See, if you're just doing it on the side as a hobby, and you're not making it a part of your daily life, it's going to be very difficult for you to maintain that happiness and forward progress towards your future. Find something that you love, make it a part of your daily life. And don't forget this. This is very very important Don forget the little things that make a destiny so exciting and special in the first place Leave room for some fun along the way My business partner Robert Supergo always tell me as a mentor he say you got to make time and make room to have fun along the way. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the little things because that's what makes having a destiny and having all the things in life worth it. So that's my thought for you today. And I want to give you a challenge. Let me ask you a couple of questions to get your mind thinking here. Have you ever gone through an experience that in hindsight, you would have done totally differently? What do you truly want in your life? What is that life look like that's going to push you forward, but leave room for expansion? What do you want to accomplish? What is it you want to contribute? What are your dreams and your goals? And then most importantly, what do you really love to do? What do you love to do? and brainstorm some ways that you can take that stuff you love doing and build it into your life, into your career, into your business, into your relationship. Build the things you love into your life and try to find out how you can have more fun with that because that'll make a big difference. So the challenge I want to give you today is I'd love for you to go out and create a vision board, something that is either on your phone or it's a physical poster board in your room or whatever it is something on your mirror at home, start collecting pictures and specifics about what you want your life to be like. You know, I have a vision board that has all kinds of physical things, but it also has pictures of family. It has pictures of lifestyle and health and eating. And yeah, I've got some amazing cars and home and travel and things like that on as well. But the more you can create a vivid picture of where you want your life to lead, the more it's going to become a reality in your life. And that's my challenge for you. And that's something that I recommend that you do because I think you're going to find major, major breakthroughs as you start to see the life that you want to create in front of you every single day.
