Control Your Destiny

Last night, I went to a training of Gregg M, whose family owns a multi-billion dollar company in the U.S. I was keen to listen to his talk especially that his theme was “Control Your Destiny.” I think that’s a better title for this blog…hmm.

He actually talked about what I’ve been trying to express here, being your own boss, and I also learned something new…the 3 types of “You” and they are the Yesterday “You,” the Present “You,” and the Future “You” – the “You” that you want to be, realizing your full potential, believing in yourself, and making your “massive” dreams a reality. I so much enjoy attending these trainings, because if you think about it, when was the last time you actually paid attention to your dreams, your BIG dreams? Are you actively pursuing them or are you just busy with your Present “You” – focusing on day to day activities.

Everyday, I hear people complain about their boss, work, tasks, colleagues, but every single day, you’ll see them drag their feet to the same offices. No choice, you say? What if I AM giving you a choice to work for your dreams, to work on your Future You, the “You” that you want to be? I, for instance, gave some people the rare chance to attend the same training of this extraordinary multi-millionaire (in dollars, take note) for free! Not all grabbed the chance though, because they are busy with their Present “Them.” In my opinion, when it comes to our time, money, health, education, talent, etc., we are all given the choice how to use it, but whoever or whatever controls our destiny influences the choices that we make.

Who controls your destiny? You should, because nobody else will, or worse, somebody else will.
