Foundation of Fate: Choice...

Your Life Is In Your Hands 

 When one must cower from self-management, then they have simply abandoned themselves and do not want to be saved-in turn- cannot be helped by others. 

In addition, we must stop leaving our minds dependent on the opinions and false authority of others, who do not have what we need and knowingly create baseless chaos, since they are unwilling to face their demise alone. 

 There will always be the responsibility-when the time comes-to take control of what we want. No being or creature can avoid the inevitable. 

 Here is the layout explaining three core functions necessary to strive in this imperative adjustment.

Initiate Change 

The only way you can achieve anything you want in life is by self-motivation. You must need change for you.

It is understood, pointing out that "If a person makes no effort to cure himself of a disease or to save himself from his difficulties, or to strive with diligence for his progress, his evil Kamma will find a suitable opportunity to produce it's due effect" (Jaico, 1998, p.258).

If one speaks about wanting more, then action must follow. When one decides to not put in the work, then their situation of complacency will always be their own creation to endure. 

No one is keeping us hostage to any given circumstance. We must stand for what is right for us, no matter how trying, because it's worth exceeds everything. 

Otherwise, we're content children, screaming for the vein account of attention. In this sense, people who are useless to themselves and others, in a self-wrought prison of needy validation as a help-rejecting complainer.

Believe In Yourself...

Weighing one's worth, value, and resolutions in the hands of others while being pleased by their approval is, too, damaging to one's confidence and limits the capacity of strong self-assurance.

No matter what, their approval does not mean one has succeeded over their daily irresponsibility. It just shows they are good at listening and following instructions. 

 Remember not to take advice from anyone who does not live by the example of the choices/life you need. Lead with intention and listen to the value of those that do.

In my previous post "The Compass...", I highlighted that not all faces are lived as genuine people. Use your discernment well.  

Not only should we entrust our intuition and ears to listen for the truth, but we must also believe in ourselves that we will make (and follow) the right choices in kind. 

 Buddha say's "Man's merits and the sins he here hath wrought; That is the thing he owns...Hence let him make good store for life elsewhere..."(Jaico, 1998, p.259). We are the contributors of our life's design; we carry the weight of them daily. No matter how bad things may stand, we must have the bravery to properly develop our fortunes. 

There is always hope. It comes down to motivation, belief in possibilities, and the effort to arrange disciplinary order. May be difficult, yet it is possible. 

Stop Blaming, Take Responsibility.

People fail us, and we fail people. 

It's a cycle of failing and succeeding that allows us to learn and move better. 

 Own up to you, everything included, then take action to rectify. 

It is easy to point at people for their faults that can or do affect us, but the choice is forever ours in how we allow them to play their part in our on-going development of self. 

How I see it, there are two choices. First choice, we sit in our own hell, fighting with anger against truth and reason. We keep the ball we shot, dropped and smothered with dirt, litter, and mud (just to never pick it back up). Second choice: take the ball, make the shot, miss again, learn from it, make a better setup, and shoot again until it's through the net. 

The ball represents our conscience. What do you plan to do with yours? 

The right choice, almost always, is the hardest and the best to make. Your future self will thank you because it will be that much easier. 

In The End...

Fate is the result of past actions and present decision. Our past outlines the hidden clues to master living, and the future is a manifestation that waits for fruition. 

Fight for yourself and don't let up. As Sumyutta Nikaya once said "As you sow the seed, so shall you reap the fruit" (Jaico, 1998, p.252).

Do your best to become the wolf among the sheep.
