George Wright III here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I hope your week is already off to an amazing start. Today, we're going to do something a little bit different. I have some thoughts and things I'd like to share with you that I think you're going to be able to use throughout your week, throughout your first quarter of this year. And we're going to talk a little bit about your destiny. But before I get started with that, I want to go through the quote of the day. The quote of the day is by Napoleon Hill, and it is a quote that I've loved for the longest time. It says, what the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. And I want to ask you if you really believe that. Do you believe that if you and your mind can come up with something and create it, that you, if you believe it enough, that you can create it in your life? Because that's the concept and the discussion that I want to have with you today. You see, there's this whole idea of destiny, and I don't know what your personal thoughts are on destiny, but I've learned a lot about destiny over the last decade of my life. Working with my business partner and friend and mentor, Robert Stuburg, I've learned to really try to question and get a better feel for what I want my destiny to be like. And I want to ask you that question to kind of start out. If you could do anything in your life, if you could be anything, have anything, do anything, what would it be? What is it that you would want your life to be like? See, the key to learning how to create a destiny and how to understand your destiny is to learn to unlock the potential that you have inside yourself. Because you truly do have the ability to create your destiny. And Robert Stuber created a program called Creating Your Ultimate Destiny. and this is a program that I want to be able to share with you and I'm going to take Monday morning each week for the next you know two or three months and I want to share some of the thoughts and ideas that he's created inside this program because I think it's something that will help to truly unlock what it is that you want to accomplish in your life this year because this year remember we we really going to be focused on trying to create some amazing progress and some amazing results in your life and so when it when it comes to really understanding and creating your destiny what you have to realize is the most important place that it starts is to realize that you are powerful, that you do have talents and strengths and abilities. You know, things that you, if you can just learn to access these things, that's the starting point. And you have to believe, you have to believe that you do have talents and skills and abilities and that you do have the ability. You have to believe that you can, you have control over your life and that you can consciously shape your life by releasing these talents and abilities and things that you have inside yourself. So, you know, everything when it comes down right down to destiny, because I do believe that destiny is whatever you choose for it to be. What you want your life to become is your destiny. And you have to first, however, start by accessing this power of belief because your beliefs, they're going to shape the experience that you have in this life. The beliefs are going to shape what you believe and what you act on in your life. So what do you really believe? What do you believe when it comes to destiny and creating your life? Do you believe that life happens to you or do you believe that life happens for you? That's a real, it's a slight difference, but it's very, very distinct. See, many people go throughout life believing that life happens to them rather than life happens for them, meaning that things in your life happen to create more strength in your life or they happen to help you to become a better, stronger version of yourself. Because we can't necessarily control all of the events that are happening around us. There's so many things happening in our life right now, maybe things that you just feel like you have no control over. But here's the difference. You can control the meaning that you give to those events. You can control the meaning that you give to those events. So do you believe that you can influence and that you can decide how you view the events in your life? When was the last time you had something happen in your life that when you look back on it, you realize maybe it wasn't as bad as it looked or as bad as it seemed? You know, it's like Wayne Dyer says, when you look back on the tapestry of your life, things seem to make a little bit more sense. And so it's very important that you understand that your beliefs will create and influence your destiny. But what you believe happens to you in your life is an essential part of that. Because our beliefs, they shape our lives. They shape our actions and our responses and our reactions to things. And more importantly, and probably one of the most important things for you to understand, is that your beliefs are going to shape your happiness. Your beliefs in how you can influence or affect your life has a direct correlation on your happiness. So how do you define or what do you believe about happiness? Do you believe that happiness is defined by the things in your life? Do you believe that happiness is defined by experiences or emotions or feelings? Because your belief or your definition of happiness will absolutely affect and influence the way you go about your life See I had in the beginning of my career I used to really feel that creating success would create the happiness You've probably heard those phrases before, you know, live today like most won't, so you can live tomorrow like most can't. You know, all of these phrases that we've been taught throughout life. And what I realized as I was going throughout my career is that chasing happiness was not going to create, or chasing success rather, was not going to create happiness. What I had to learn is that happiness is not pursued. It's attracted by the person that you become. Happiness for me turned more into personal growth and contribution and dealing and staying inside my unique talents. And so I had to really learn that, and maybe you've kind of started to realize that as well, but you have to question your belief and your definition of happiness, because as the Dalai Lama once put it, happiness is wanting and appreciating what you have, not having what you want. So many of us believe that we'll be happy if we can just get what we want, rather than being happy by wanting what we have. And that's such an important belief that you need to learn to adopt in your life. You do influence your decisions. You do influence your destiny. And your beliefs will influence how you feel that. You know, look, happiness is a decision. You've all heard me say that before. Prosperity Pillar, the Prosperity Pillar poster that we've got. Number seven is I choose to be happy. Happiness, I believe, is definitely a decision. It's a decision to focus on what you have. It's a decision to focus on creating your destiny. It's a decision to be happy. That's what it is. just making that conscious decision. And then also it's very, very important to realize that happiness is also a journey. It's a process. It's a way of life. But the true way to create happiness in your life is to start from a place of gratitude. And when you're trying to create your destiny and you're realizing that your beliefs shape your destiny and that happiness is, your definition of happiness is so important, the easiest way to start is to start with gratitude by counting the ways that you have to be happy, by counting the things that you're grateful for, by counting the things that you are grateful that you have rather than the things that you want to have. And then, and then, the key is to unleash your personal passion into the world because that's how you're going to create the true happiness that you're looking for. Now, here's a real key. This is a key that I've learned from Robert. This is one I want you to listen to really closely. you can't pursue happiness the best way to create your ultimate destiny is not to pursue happiness it's to pursue your destiny to pursue your destiny to become the person that you want to be to achieve the results that you want to achieve and to contribute to the benefits of others let me say that again happiness is not to be pursued the best way to create your ultimate destiny is to pursue your destiny by becoming the person that you want to be by achieving the results that you want to achieve and by contributing to the benefit of others. That's the recipe for a happy life. That's the recipe for creating an amazing destiny. And, you know, look, the best way that you're going to do this is going to be to build up your inner powers and to build up your own strengths and abilities and contribution and unique talents. And it's to build up your internal power and strength over your beliefs, your destiny, and your happiness. Let me say that one more time. You've truly got to build up your inner power inside because happiness and destiny don't come from outside. They come from inside. The best way for you to do this is to build up your inner powers inside of your beliefs, number one, your destiny, number two, and your happiness. Number three, your belief, your destiny, and your happiness. That's going to create the ultimate life. So what I want to do as we end here today is I want to give you a challenge. And I want to ask you a couple of questions just to think about. Number one, what have you been thinking when it comes to your destiny? What's been your concept or definition of destiny? I want you to write a new, short, one or two line definition of what you believe your destiny is for yourself now that we've kind of had this conversation. In other words, what do you want your destiny to be? Define it. Define your destiny. Maybe your destiny is to create impact for other people. Maybe your destiny is to become the best version of yourself. Maybe your destiny is to create an amazing and support your family and friends. But write an empowering definition of what you believe your destiny is that you would like to pursue. Because pursuing destiny is far greater than pursuing happiness. and then I want you to write a short list of what conditions are required for you to be happy and instead of those conditions being I want to have this income and that job and this thing and that that thing what are the conditions required for you to be happy right now make a list of the things that you're grateful for reasons for you to be happy and and then finally I want you to just make a conscious decision today that rather than achieving happiness, that you'll learn to happily achieve. Let me say that again. Rather than achieving happiness, become a person that is happily achieving. That's my hope for you. That's the lesson I kind of wanted to talk to you about today. I hope you can really internalize that and realize that happiness and destiny come from within. They don't come from circumstances and without. And with that said, I hope you have an amazing day.
