The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – destiny. “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop” – Rumi.
To engage with the exciting, abstract & complex topic of destiny, we can consider classics like The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma, along with less conventional choices such as Nicola Yoon’s, The Sun Is Also a Star or Nikki Erlick’s, The Measure. The Mastery of Destiny by James Allen, Thinking and Destiny by Harold Percival & The Destiny Book by Helena Lind are special. These beautiful books explore the unique concept of destiny from different perspectives – spiritual, philosophical & psychological.
These wonderful works reveal the universal principles of destiny to empower & inspire us. They emphasise on personal responsibility, harnessing our inner power or curiosity, understanding the science of self compassion, focusing on training our will, cultivating deep concentration, leveraging the power of purpose or belief, aligning with our calling, taking calculated risk & celebrating the joy of accomplishment or creativity. “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves” – Shakespeare. “When you truly want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” – Paulo Coelho.
