You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
-James Allen
It’s easy to think about destiny when one is traveling. Right now I am in the middle of the sea on seven hour journey across the Mediterranean from the main island of Greece to the island of Santorini. I am surrounded by culture, languages, and water that is the bluest of blues. Right now, as I am on the other side of the world from my normal daily responsibilities, is the time when my thoughts, inspired by the beauty and newness of what surrounds me, combine together to create the pathway of my tomorrows.
Surround yourself with inspiration. You don’t have to be in the middle of the Mediterranean to find revelation, you just need to be open to new possibilities and new interpretations of yourself and your place in the world. Find some place that stretches your imagination and your perception of the size of the world, and let your thoughts start to take you away.
Our thoughts determine our destiny, and destiny is the thing on which legacies are made. Let your thoughts be free; let them be open to change and new perspectives. It is never too late to take ownership of your thoughts and of the way your thoughts pave your life. As the above photograph states: “Change your thoughts and you’ll change your world.” Likewise, change the place where you think your thoughts, and your thoughts will change as your world changes. Challenge yourself, challenge your thoughts, and let your thoughts take you to the tomorrows that you wish to create.
No one but you has reign or responsibility over your thoughts, so think thoughts that are worthy of the life you wish you live.
