Meant to be If It’s
It Is Up To Me.

“Whatever will be, will be” These five words have been the cause of so many unfulfilled lives. As simple as that statement sounds, it has been the sole reason why many individuals never push for the extra. It bears stressing that this particular statement has made so many songs never to hit the studios, caused many business plans never to come to life, and many employees to remain employees for life. The reality is, whatever will be, may never be. Let’s look at basic principles here: for example, if whatever will be, will be, then why did you ever have to make the effort to go to school; there’s absolutely no way the school and the teachers will come to you to teach; you’d have to make an effort to go to school, even if you were meant to attend the school. Another example goes like this: if whatever will be will be, why did you have to make an effort to pick your food from the kitchen, even though that dish is meant for you. You see, if you’re meant to go to school, it’s up to you to dress up and go to school to learn. If the food in the kitchen is meant for you, you’d still have to make an effort to go and take it. Can you see why that if it’s meant to be, it’s really up to you? Everyone is born with an assignment; some people along the line discover that they are born with the solution to an economic or social problem. Achievers and Go-Getters have no special gift or talent in them; all they possess is just that extra poise for drive and results. Every successful person knows this, and this isn’t a situation where luck, fate or karma comes to play, it’s rather a position where you as the individual is the main determining factor in your circumstance, not the case that happens by chance. No! The type where you create in your life what you want to see, have, and be. 3 Ds’ of achieving anything • Desire • Decision • Determination 1. Desire: Why would you want to settle for a drop of water when you can have the ocean? Many underachieving individuals today think it’s a crime or sin
2. Decision: You have to decide on your desires right away, else, you’ll be a dreamer. What decisions are you making in your life today? Are you trying to give up on a bad habit? If you only desire to stop, I’m afraid to tell you that, you won’t stop. You might succeed to stay for a day or two, or you might even go as far as four days, but you’ll eventually return to the habit because you have not made a concrete decision yet. Decision makers are action takers, and action takers are successful people. Make a decision today to transform your life and take action on it immediately. One year from now, you’d be glad you did.
to desire a bigger house, an expensive car, travel for vacation, throw a party every weekend, or to have a better life in general. The beginning point of every great life or great achievement is desire. If there’s no desire, then it doesn’t matter what is before you, you won’t move a muscle. You’d be left to think that everything around you is all just there, but life itself is expanding, exploring, and it never ends. Life evolves every second. Life demands newness and freshness. Life requires innovation. You’d be working in contrast to life demands when you don’t have a desire for a better experience, a better society, a better economy, and a better school. You’d see that those who do not desire anything new or better always struggle in life, and they end up impecunious, melancholic, despondent, and depressed. For you to live life to its fullest, you must crave and first have a burning desire – that’s where it all starts from.
3. Determination: Sometimes when you make decisions, you’d find out that there are obstacles along the deciding path, which tends to throw you off balance. Nonetheless, no! do not succumb. You have to remain determined by your decision. Life will throw jabs at you, but do not cringe at such. There’s a saying that goes like this, “tough times do not last, but tough people do.” Only determined people make it to the finish line. Determination will push you beyond your limits, and the beautiful thing is when you cross your thresholds, that new limit becomes your new starting line. Determination fuels your desire for a better life. In conclusion, don’t just let yourself be tossed around by every wind of adversity. Do not wait for good things to come to you or happen to you. Rather make good things happen to your life by your actions and decisions. Have a desire today, decide to go for that desire, and then be determined to achieve your desire because if it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.

And the downloads keep coming... Dawn Bates | International bestselling author, coach and speaker.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re downloading your favourite movies, music, the latest training video or a new book into your Kindle, there’s always the opportunity to download something. We’re surrounded by messaging constantly and the feeling of overwhelm can sometimes lead us to want to scream with our hands over our ears, shaking our heads and wanting to run as far away from civilisation as possible. Then there’s the rules that have defined our very existence. In schools, colleges, universities, at home as children, and even now as adults we still have rules in our homes. Then there’s the rules at work, on the roads, government imposed rules also known as laws. For those of us who run businesses there’s also the rules on how to run that, from the accounts, the hiring and firing and even our branding and social media campaigns. And after all these rules and downloads, we close or eyes at night hoping for a restful sleep and BOOM! There’s that never ending download of jobs to do, ideas for summer holidays, the next product launch, marketing campaign, surprise outing for the family because family time is needed, before you even get into the next level of investment in yourself and the business expansion. And then the downloads of gratitude flood your brain bringing a smile to your face, because at least you get to think of all these things flooding your mind. You get to be grateful for the gratitude that floods your mind and body, feeling those exciting ‘ bubble funnels’ which run throughout your body. And finally you sleep. Peacefully. With a smile on your face, Warmth in your heart, And contentment in your soul, Because life is truly wonderful even with all these distractions. You get to lead a life you love, you get to believe anything is truly possible, because it is, and everything you’ve ever dreamed of is coming to fruition. And then sleep takes you. Your mind rests, for now. And then the subconscious mind takes over and your dreams take you in this wild journey to other worlds and levels of your own life.
And then the whole process of downloading ideas and a to do list starts all over again, because that’s simply another way to live your dream life, getting truly present to your own downloads rather than the downloads of everyone else.
You sit bolt upright, eyes not even really open, you grab your journal and pen and scribble away as if your life depended on it. You grab your phone deliver the message that is coming through to your audience on social media, because that’s one of the rules right? Share authentically what comes up for you when it comes up for you and before you know it your subconscious mind is not following rules made in the conscious world and you are a slave to the system... ...or are you? Or are you so in tune with the highest levels of downloads and surrendering to the Universe and process of delivering your truth to the world, because without your truth what is there to speak? Who are we if we are not truthful? Not just to others, but to ourselves? They say the truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off; but what is there to be pissed off about when you’ve discovered an element of self that needs looking at, perhaps a deep healing, maybe just an acknowledgment, either way, the truth is bound to come out one day, so why not write a book about your truth?
Then your mind quietens and you relax back into sleep, whilst your subconscious deals with that latest download, one you have been purculating for some time, like a great coffee. Then the alarm fills your mind, the aroma of the morning coffee fills your nostrils and it’s game on time. Download, process, perculate, rest, implement and repeat. Welcome to the cycle of living the dream, broken down into a simple set of rules of which we can choose to live by or simply choose our own rules... Either way rules are rules, whether we call them our non negotiables, laws, processes, methods or modelling. We are all conditioned and programmed, it’s just a matter of choosing who’s got the remote control and the access to the download button. Whoever it is remember, live to laugh and laugh to live because life is to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest!
