From the moment we emerge into the world, we are travelers embarking on an unknown journey. Where will the road of life take us? We don’t know. While we can steer towards a particular destination, there may be any number of obstacles or detours. It’s a humbling realization that much of what happens in life is beyond our control. We have to trust the journey. Choosing to trust accelerates our soul’s evolutionary path because it allows us to transcend internal blocks to moving forward, which in turn provides the strength to release whatever may bind us to the past.

The concept of a journey is a well-known metaphor for life. Of course, a journey implies movement.

“In reality, we are divinity in disguise, 
and the gods and goddesses in embryo 
that are contained within us 
seek to be fully materialized.” 
Deepak Chopra

Although hidden within each of us is the same energy, the Universe expresses itself through each individual in unique ways. You possess a distinct set of divine potentials — qualities, characteristics, talents and other latent abilities — in a combination that no one else has, or can give voice to in exactly the same way that you can. Consequently, you have an individual destiny that is uniquely yours to fulfill.

Destiny is something entirely different than fate, the notion that your life is predetermined. The dictionary defines destiny as the inner purpose of a life that can be discovered and realized. Fulfilling your destiny is not something that you do, but rather it is someone that you become. You’ve incarnated to discover who you are, to consciously step into becoming who you are meant to be, and to anchor that expression of the Divine energy in this world.
