I believe in destiny. Not that whatever happens was predestined but that there's a preplanned way things should be to work out the best as an option for individuals to make. That's where the idea of good and bad came from. The force gravity, for instance, has been there before we came here. It already predetermined that we would be fixed to the earth and not be floating as if on the moon. It won't be the plan of the Creator that people would live jumping off cliffs to the death.
There are ways things work that show us how to relate with them to make the most of life. We don't always have a hand in the way they present to us. We only have to make do with them in order to use them to our advantage, existence and survival.
In same way, we were each created and wired certain ways, definitely and obviously, not same way. No two people are exactly wired same way. And the wiring of individuals makes them perform differently, and so we have different effectiveness and efficiencies in different things. This individual uniqueness locks individuals within certain pathways in life. Either we like it or not, it shows how limited our choices can be, almost locking us up to only two options of what's good for us and what's bad.
And within these options, the good options are always fewer than the bad. Between what's right and what's wrong, you have fewer rights and many wrongs. If we are to choose the white color or any other color, out of many colors, only one color will be right among the many different colors.
So we are locked up within very few choices in life based on our make up which we didn't choose. Even those who change genders still won't be able to change a whole lots of things about their physical bodies and minds, some changes are absolutely beyond us. Majority of things that make up our personalities are beyond our ability to choose and still be ok.
So, within how we were made are things we can do and can't do. Within that make up are what we would like to do and what we won't like to do. Within our peculiarities are those things we are wired to do and the things we aren't wired to do. This brings us to the limitations we have as individuals, which aren't limitations in themselves but opportunities to be able to choose from within the limited choices the things we were actually tailored to contribute to the world.
I understand that the human being, with his innovative make up, has the capacity to learn new skills and develop new capacities, but no acquired skills will naturally equip him or her to perform to the highest levels beyond what he or she would have being able to perform developing and maximising the original skill sets.
Life, therefore has set before individuals the post or position in life where they would be able to perform maximally and live most satisfying lives. Within the success plan of the Creator for the world, individual creature has been created to succeed at its own post. Every creature was made to add something unique to the whole and so is everyone of us.
But we have choices to make even if few. We have the tendency of making choices outside how we are wired. You can blame that on the power the Creator gave us to be able to choose even after making us in particular ways. I don't think it's wrong to be equipped with the power to make choices, I rather think it gives us the opportunity to participate in the fulfillment of our destinies and the plan of God for us and so should be handled with utmost responsibility. We should never use that right and the ability to make choices against God otherwise it'll hurl us out of the way set for us and hurt us badly.
It's good to follow the path life had laid before us and explore that to its extent rather than going off key like in music and turning beautiful songs into unpleasant noises that hurt the ear, if you have ever heard people not gifted with singing trying hard to sing.
My admonition this morning is that we discover how we are wired and seek to know exactly what we were cut out to deliver in this world and develop our skills to go and deliver them. We are more recognized, better paid and much more fulfilled when we discover and watch that post God created us for. It is there that possible positive open doors are, there, grace is more abundant. There, God had placed other resources and people to make things work. The team mates for success are waiting at that point for each one of us, to accomplish the life projects God has sent us to deliver.
Have you left your post to seek what you think would deliver faster or easier? It may be an investment into failure and frustration. It's good we do a reassessment to know what we are doing and to know if to stop and to do what's right.
To close your eyes and pick the correct option out of many is a risk not worth taking when it comes to life's business, rather check what you are wired to deliver and go for it, closing your eyes to any other but with the determination to pursue that path to its extents.
Such determination enjoys grace and opportunities that make whatever pain and sacrifices worth it.
Discover and keep watch at your post... Don't wander! There success awaits! Good morning

May God never allow us to derail from our purpose in life .
