Change your Destiny
Wisdom to help you know how to be in this world
By Alfredo Karras
Every person sets his or her destiny.
This I am sure about.
Nothing happens by chance. You make a plan and decide to make
it happen. Your mind is a powerful magnet that will attract to you
the things you identify yourself with. If you have sad thoughts,
you will attract tragedies. If you are a good man, you will attract
the company of good people. The stronger your will, the clearer
and more defined your goals will be and the greater the
‘coincidences’ that will appear in front of you, helping you get
where you wish – Heaven or hell.
You decide what you want.
If a man writes perfectly, but does not know a lot about
calculations, is he handicapped compared to an eminent
mathematician? And the mathematician is handicapped
compared to the scribbler? Is a swordsman handicapped because
he cannot sing? Is a man handicapped for not having wings to fly
or gills to breathe under water?
We are responsible for each action, each word, each thought.
Nobody can escape from this responsibility. Our words, deeds and
thoughts have an effect and that effect may be short-term or longterm but be sure, there are consequences and we must deal with
those consequences.
Be good. But do not be good only to those who please you; be
good to everyone who exists. This is for your own welfare. If you
have bad feelings in your heart, you are vulnerable to evil and
suffering. But, if there are only good things in your heart, the bad
things that people wish you or put in your path will merely bounce
off such a wall of good and will reflect back to the one who wished
it to you. Your only protection from what is evil is being good.
If we know why we are suffering it is easier to bear the suffering.
But if you don’t know the reason you can only count on one thing
to withstand the suffering: self-strength. It may be more difficult,
but this way your spirit gets stronger, becomes totally serene and
dominates all the passions. You learn the lessons that the
suffering has to teach. It is more difficult, but it is better not to
know the reason.
Superior are those who, with best intentions, serve their brothers.
Inferior are those who, by the power of the sword and the word,
make others serve them. Happier and blessed is the one who
gives, not the one who receives.
Real power is not being tied to the things of this world. Thirst for
the things of this world is insatiable and turns into agony because
it can never be satisfied. The happiness that comes from wealth
and disposing of lives is dull and short-lived; it is frequently threatened by usurpers, betrayers, diseases and finally death. But
the person who knows that power is made of light and does not
wish to be anything but life in all its prime, finds all the wealth in
existence: love, friendship and peace. And so that person is happy,
because not even death can take these things from him. And this
is the greatest power one can wish.
Instead of surrounding yourself with two hundred smarmy
people, surround yourself with two friends who appreciate you for
who you are, independently of what you own. Two hundred
smarmy people will abandon you when you most need them, but
two friends will be your legitimate army.
Can’t you see that the dream that sprouts in your hearts is your
mission on Earth. Live. Evolve. Don’t be afraid of learning. Many of you have got dreams, but do not have the courage to
follow them.
