Fate & Destiny

In our quest for healing, there is much gold to be found in the depths of our wounding. It is within these wounds that our greatest gifts may be found. Each of us seeks unhindered contact with the other without defences and masks, each of us seeks to live from our true essence – an essence in which love, friendship and intimate relationships can flow freely and in which contact with ourselves can simply be.

Fate is a given, there is nothing we can do to change what was handed to us at birth. What we can change is how we feel about it and what we do with it. For some, the wounds of childhood can feel like a burden. As we dig deeper these wounds the become our teacher, forever presenting us with life lessons. Eventually as we bow to our own fate and the fate of others with deep respect, the wound then becomes our companion through life, no longer with power over us, but as an empowering companion and comrade to help us navigate the adventure we call life. Forever presenting us with the ability to make a conscious choice to respond instead of react, to embrace instead of reject, to respect instead of judge.

When we embrace our wounds as friends and companions along the road we are free to create our destiny, until then, we are burdened by our fate.

Fate is a given, destiny is what we do with it.
