With great power comes great responsibility.
Never too sure if I have a chosen destiny or if
I am supposed to create my own purpose.
Are purpose and destiny even the same?
I think often of that simple phrase:
“I am not strong enough.”
It is often a result of doubt which is often a
result of something challenging in my life
which is often a result of desire or a manifestation which
often is a result of me deciding what I want which
is often a result of me either being unknowing or
refusing to accept my destiny, my purpose,
my gifts and the reason(s) I have them.
This morning, however, a very unique thought occurred
to me after another nightmare-filled evening:
“I am stronger than I think because, until this
point, I have simply chosen not to be.”
So, if I choose weakness when confronted with
the question of understanding or realizing my destiny,
then I must be also choosing to ignore possibilities
and if I choose, then, to ignore the possibilities of who I am,
then I am intentionally cowering from the ability within me,
that natural power instilled that has already predetermined that
I shall have “no doubt except that which I choose…”
…another circle of life.
My destiny, then, is not to be anything.
My purpose, then, is not to get to any particular goal.
Accomplishment, success, destination are, then, false gods.
Perhaps, then, there is nothing for me to realize, to understand.
I only need to know that
with great power comes great responsibility
and my power is universal and endless
as is my strength,
and my destiny,
simply,
is just to know that,
and to be just that.
