Should We Be Resigned to Destiny?

We all cognize the powerfulness of motivational address and technique like Neuro-linguistic scheduling (NLP). Yet, it is often contradicting that people who go to motivational talking organised by the likes of Antony Jerome Robbins also confer with luck tellers. Presumably,it could be that they are eager to better their luck and funny about their future. For the Chinese, fate have always been a cardinal facet of one's belief.

If everything is fixed by Fate, then why make we necessitate motivation? Yet, deep down our mind, we cognize that blindly following Fate is often fatalistic and can be an enemy of motivation. Having discussed the issue of fate with a chap forum member, I felt that there is a demand to discourse more than about the conception of one's destiny.

The many expressions claiming about Destiny' s all pervading influence on all walkings of life showed that the Chinese civilization admits Destiny' s stronghold. We all be given to have got a inactive surrender to Destiny because Destiny looks so cryptic and so powerful. When one analyzes carefully the record of human experience, we would have got noticed that the bulk of world are not living in good fortune. If Destiny really rules, then Destiny is more than prostrate to make misfortune. Realising this, we must cultivate the desire to change Destiny. And this is where motivational technique and Chinese metaphysics come up manus in hand.

Let me name one illustration whereby the ancient Chinese classic Iodine Ching motivates us to defeat the hurdle of Destiny.

...the Book of Changes; hence it enables us to perforate and understand the motions of the visible light and dark, of life and death, Gods and demons. This cognition do possible command over Fate, because Fate can be shaped if its laws are known (Wilhelm 1951, phosphorus 296)

Hence, to defeat Destiny is to first understand that Destiny is existent and that you necessitate to cognize what Destiny is before you could defeat it! Know the regulations of the game and you can flex it!

'Fate is decided by Heaven, felicity is sought by oneself.'
