Destiny

I always believe that I'm someone who's destined for greater things. I've been told by many that I am. When I look back and think about all of these 'praises', I'm compelled to think about the millions that might have heard the same. How many actually fulfill their destiny? Destiny is a misleading word. No one is destined to do something in life. We are the creators of our own destiny and that is something that we make through a lifetimes work. Could I just hangup my boots because someone told me that I'm destined to be someone? No. I work hard and strive to make myself the best. I might not even do the thing people would believe I'm destined to do because I am the one who will make the final call on what I want to do. Why must we believe that we are people who have been placed by someone high above to do certain things that will help us attain salvation. If anyone thought that this is about destiny as in someone who's destined to be a business exec or an engineer, you're in the wrong place. I'm here to question our spiritual destiny. Salvation is a mental state, not something we get after death. Our holy Scriptures have guidelines to what is our destiny and to achieve that, what all do we need to do. I believe my destiny is spreading happiness and knowledge. Knowledge that is correct and happiness that is real. Knowledge about how all of us have been misled by the thought of achieving our destiny to attain salvation and happiness by showing people that our little pleasures is what makes us happy. 

I am no cynic who craps all over the institution of spirituality, as a matter of fact, I am a believer of spirituality. But have we been misguided by all the saints and holy men around us that don't realize what is the true meaning of spirituality? Its not about serving a divine form that presides above all of us, its about serving the ones around us and to never spread negativity or sadness. We are the makers of our own destiny. My destiny is to make sure people around me are enlightened by the lamp of truth and knowledge. What about you?
