“It is my fate to control my destiny”.
Whenever I try to control my destiny, I will follow my fate.
My Destiny is my Life Path that has been chosen by my Soul.
I can choose to follow my Soul’s Path or I can choose to follow the choice of my ego Self. I always have choice.
My ego will follow the path that leads to what it believes it wants and needs. This is my fate.
My fate only becomes my Destiny once I consciously choose, that what I really want and need, is to follow my Soul’s Path for this life-time.
My Soul’s Path leads to Personal Spiritual Development & Growth, which is always my Soul’s Choice and the Destiny of my Self.
My ego cannot control my Destiny. It can only ‘Accept’ it.
“It is my Destiny to control my fate”.
I control my fate by not following my fate. I control my fate by following my Destiny.
I will follow my fate by default. When I follow my fate, I am not in control of my fate, it just turns up as a consequence of my sub-conscious thoughts.
When I try to consciously control my life, I get my fate, because I get the essence of what I consciously focus my thoughts on.
When I let go of control and allow my life to occur, I receive my Destiny because I allow my Soul to choose it for me.
I cannot receive my Destiny until I choose what My Soul has chosen and I cannot know what my Soul has chosen until my Destiny arrives. Therefore control is useless.
Whether I am receiving my Destiny or experiencing my fate is just a matter of perspective that is determined by my beliefs and my thoughts about what is currently occuring in my life.
Unless I have awoken to my Spiritual Path, which is my Destiny, I will have no distinction between my fate and my destiny and I will have no control over either.
So I decide to always accept what arrives in my present as a gift from Soul, as being my destiny. Are you saying that in letting go of control we cease making any practical plans for the future? Or that we make them based on what we feel we would love to do, whilst letting go of any need for the outcome to be as we want?
I’ve got internet access again this week, after a week in northern India without any – good to read your thoughts once more.

When we let go of control and cease making plans for the future, we allow our destiny to unfold naturally. We cannot choose our Soul’s choice with our attention focused on what our ego wants.
When we choose with our ego, we receive our fate. When we choose our Soul’s choice we allow our Soul to send it and we allow our ego to receive it. The Soul and the ego Self are then co-creating, which is our destiny.
The only real difference between my fate and my destiny is my perspective. In reality my Soul has already sent me everything that I need for my journey. The real question is have I received it with gratitude or am I still under the illusion that something in my life is missing.
