Master Your Destiny

A practical guide to rewrite your story and become the person you want to be
By Thibaut Meurisse

As long as you are alive, you’ll either live to accomplish your own goals and dreams, or you’ll be used as a resource to accomplish someone else’s goals and dreams.
— GRANT CARDONE, AUTHOR AND MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER.

The business philosopher, Jim Rohn said, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.”

But you cannot let other people decide what your story should be. If you do so, you are likely to pursue the wrong things and end up unhappy and frustrated. You must choose your own story. Other people won’t be the ones on their deathbed regretting you didn’t pursue your dreams, you will.

Many people put more energy, creativity, and commitment into deciding which house to buy or where to go on vacation than into deciding what to do with their lives.
— NICHOLAS LORE, CAREER COACH AND FOUNDER OF
ROCKPORT INSTITUTE.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.
— N. R. NARAYANA MURTHY, BUSINESSMAN.

Your brain is not designed to make you happy but to ensure your survival so that you can reproduce. It does this by constantly scanning your environment for potential threats. For this reason, your mind gives more weight to negative events than positive ones.

The plain truth is, you can only ever live one day at a time. The present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. Sadly, many of us spend an incredible amount of time dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. As we do so, we fail to savor the new day in front of us. Since we keep having the same worries about the past or the future, it seems as though we’re reliving the same day over and over again.

By reading the same book or taking the same course over and over again, you squeeze the value out of it and gather powerful insights that can change your life.

Les Brown said, “You don’t get what you want in life. You get who you are!”
