You may doubt your ability to impact your larger destiny today, even if experience has taught you that you are the final arbiter of your fate. Because you likely feel quite unsure of yourself as a result, you may be less than willing to extend yourself in activities that can potentially help you further your goals. This doubt may do more harm than good--though it can protect you from harm, it can also prevent you from fulfilling your potential. You can be sure you are doing all you can to shape your fate today by casting aside your uncertainty so that you are able to immerse yourself wholeheartedly in the endeavors related to your purpose.

We can never truly know how our actions will affect our destinies, but we can speculate whether any one choice will contribute to our ability to realize our larger dreams. Instinct and insight can tell us when we are on the right track where our ambitions are concerned, but we must be willing to accept that some of the paths that promise short term satisfaction will not lead to long term happiness. Uncertainty can make us cautious, and our caution can help us navigate conscientiously through the challenges put before us. Yet it is up to us to shape the futures we will someday enjoy, and we must be somewhat sure of ourselves if we are to take charge of our eventual fate. Cultivating feelings of certainty within yourself can help you endure the surprises that seem to go hand in hand with the goal realization process today.
