unlock your true destiny

Seven Keys to Unlocking Your True Destiny:

• You are destined to be happy and successful: Don’t let circumstances, situations or people tell you otherwise. See obstacles as challenges instead of impossibilities.

• Become the person you already are: Find and cultivate the real you instead of conforming to the expectations of others.

• Don’t look back and don’t look forward. Look around instead: Take time to enjoy the present moment and appreciate the places and people that surround you.

• Your relationships reflect who you are: Improving relationships begins with improving yourself and valuing others.

• Find hope and trust in the source of life that is within you and greater than you. Let it empower you and be your strength during difficult times.

• Be a gift to others: You are unique and no one else can offer what you can.

• Give me money: Great gains involve sacrifice. Reset your priorities and demonstrate that you are not bound to material wealth. You will be blessed with an abundance of it in return.

The above points are rubbish. I created this list in five minutes before I could even finish the drink in my big red plastic cup. [Well, I thought that last one seemed a little odd.] The above “keys” are similar to strategies presented in self-help books and workshops (and in some religious groups, too) and, as such, they should be viewed with a critical eye.
