 Here, let me say something to you about the difference between destiny and meaning. We have taught a lot. I have taught a lot. There's a lot written about destiny. It's a great subject. I think it's something we should speak to people about, especially in this day and age and the troubled world that we're living in, to inspire people to believe that they have a destiny and that there is a huge idea for their life that I believe God invented and God has for everyone's life. But what I've realized about destiny is that destiny, however powerful, however predestined it may be, meaning, the meaning we give to a thing that happens to us in life, actually has a huge effect on destiny and I would say is actually more powerful than destiny. Destiny, of course, is a very powerful thing. It is decided for every individual before they're born. I believe that we are all born into a destiny and the idea in life is that we try to figure out what that destiny is. But what I've also figured out 40 plus years in to being interested in and being a student of destiny as it were in people's lives and in my life is that through life things happen to us and many of those things often are beyond our control and that is certainly true in the troubled world that we live in now. Imagine if your life was involved in one of these terrorist attacks or one of these plain bombings or some natural disaster, things happen to us in life and bad things happen to good people all the time who are at that time living out their destiny. I'm totally believe that they are living with a sense of destiny and then boom, something huge happens to us that derails or detracts or perspons or knocks back our sense in us, a momentum in our destiny and what I realize is that the definitions and the explanations and the interpretation that we give to what happens to us in life that is the meanings that we give to what happens to us are actually more powerful than destiny because I believe destiny is chosen by God but meaning is chosen by you and me. So the meanings we choose if we choose a wrong meaning to something that happens to us or happens to someone close to us or happens to something somewhere in the world the meanings that we take from that determine our destiny because if the meaning we take is a wrong meaning is a faulty flawed meaning is a wrong interpretation based on the negativity we feel or based on how badly that affects us then the meaning determines what comes next. So what we what we make a thing mean in our life the meaning we decide a thing has determines which way we go next and determines the company we keep and determines our internal conversations and determines our new paths of thinking and what that brings into our life so to to have a wrong faulty flawed meaning and you'll all know this from your life anyway it's not it's not a new thing I'm telling you but the importance of it perhaps and the ability it has to hijack destiny perhaps is a new idea for you to have a faulty meaning sets all our life on a trail often as contrary to where our destiny wanted to take us so a faulty meaning can derail us from the track of momentum in our destiny we were on and take us on a completely different direction we can get back from that many people and perhaps you have spent a lot of time weeks or months or years in a expression of life and on a track in life that you had to get back from that you had to recover from and get back on track with your destiny and it's like you lost months or years in between that's what I mean if you track it back to the place where it went wrong it's that we had an incident and occurrence took place that caused us to come up with a meaning a definition an analysis an interpretation that governed the outcome that was faulty as well so I want you to know that destiny and meaning need to work together we want to make meaning as serious and as forensic and as thoughtful as we are about our destiny because meaning is more powerful than destiny we decide meaning god decides destiny but a wrong meaning can derail our destiny and our progress in life so think about that today what meaning are you giving to things in your life right now and is that meaning accurate is that meaning reactionary is it not thought through because you haven't realized that the meaning you give it the meaning you walk away with can enhance or can severely hinder your progress in life destiny and meaning
