"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." - Winston Churchill

As I began my day this morning, the quote above struck me and got me thinking. I thought about my own destiny, as well as those who are close to me who've shared their goals & aspirations for the 2009.

Our destiny is basically our destination for our life...it's the place where we intend to arrive after we put away the road map (figuratively speaking) or turn off the internal navigation GPS, once we finishing driving.

I recalled a conversation I had not too long ago with a recently former Realtor whom I relied on occasionally for my own accountability.

Each time we'd speak to one another he kept telling me about what he was "going to do" and "what he had been thinking about doing."  However, he rarely could give updates on what he actually had done.

When I questioned him about what had been holding him back, his explanation was always the same.

He seemed to believe that the reason he hadn't achieved the majority of his 2008 business goals was because it "just wasn't his destiny."

Did he really believe that he was less worthy, capable, deserving or destined for success than the next Realtor?

I could not believe my ears!

Our destiny is not by chance; on the contrary it is the result of our intentions and our deliberate actions that follow suit.

Destiny isn't accidental, and it doesn't come through osmosis; you've got to think it, believe it, commit to it, do it, be passionate about it and achieve it!

So what are you choosing your career destiny to be in 2009?

Stay motivated,
