>>Something to which a person or thing is destined.
>>A predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency.
I have heard people say that they were destined to become a “blank.” Perhaps because their father was a coal miner, they believed they were destined to become a coal miner too… Or a physician, or a lawyer or a farmer. Really?
I believe we create our own destiny. We cannot sit back and relax and expect our lives to simply follow a certain course. It is up to us to decide the direction our life will take us.
Who and what do you want to be? If you admire your parents and their career path, if you choose to follow that path, there is nothing wrong with it. If, however, you’re following that path because you believe you are expected to do so, you may be going the wrong direction for you.
When you use your “mind’s eye” to see the future you, what are you doing? Are you successful? Are you struggling? Are you passionate about your career choice?
If you follow your own intuition, trust that it is the right decision, you may begin to see doors open for you that you never imagined.
My parents and my grandparents owned restaurants. I grew up in the industry. My sister worked for my parents and was a waitress (or using the politically correct term, a server) her whole life, and my brother manages restaurants. I could have worked in the industry. My parents never pushed me in that direction, but it certainly would have been understandable if I had believed a career in the food industry was my destiny.
I did not choose a career in the “family” business. I was the “independent” one in the family and chose my own path, eventually ending up where I am today. I am an entrepreneur, a home business owner.
Looking back, I know I could have gone in many different directions, but my self-created destiny brought me to a very good place.

 | | What a great post Julie. It's so true that sometimes it's easier to go with what's familiar, but that might not be where your passion is. It's up to each of us to follow our destiny. I'm sharing this one!! |
| | |  | | Another thought provoking blog, Julie. If I think of my current job, I cannot say it was my destiny, otherwise I wouldn't have started internet marketing. I have made my way. Maybe this is my way. |
| | |  | | I like this a lot Julie - "Trust your intuition"... I for one am trusting mine and looking forward to seeing where it leads me! - |
