When Soul Marries Destiny

Marrying our soul with our destiny is our only chance for happiness in this life. We have - in every word we say, every thought we think and every action that we take, - the option to choose karma or destiny, what will it be. The soul's only desire is the choice of destiny, but fear, prince of all princes, is what takes us off course, and all too often.

We can see karma choices: we are unhappy, we are unfulfilled, we are unexcited and de-energized, we just deal with it. Destiny choices are the opposite. It's almost as if every cell emanates a kind of joyful, I'm-a part-of-this-and-it's-great energy. We flow completely, we are happy. Destiny doesn't eliminate struggling or working through things, but it is an energetic working through of them, it is a crisp knowledge that it is absolutely necessary.

We choose karma to avoid destiny. Anytime we compromise ourselves out of fear, for the sake of being loved, or liked, or cared for, or the feeling of safety, we are marrying karma, and our soul sits desolate on the wayside, weeping its heart out for the destiny which is ours.

Karma is a horizontal stretch between black and white, good and bad, do this and get that. Destiny transcends karma, because it's vertical and can move above the horizontal stretch. So, we can choose whether we are going to participate on the level of karma or we can choose to marry our souls to our destiny and burst into the Universe in full bloom. The choice is ours.

Blessings.
