How to Grow Into Your Destiny

Destiny is a pretty big word, and one that scares a most people into shrinking back from even exploring what your destiny is. You can stay in that stuck place for a short time or your entire life and die with your destiny unexplored and certainly unrealized.

But look for a minute at the upside of what can happen when you acknowledge your fear, take a deep breath and take that next step anyway.

Let’s take 48 year old over night sensation, Susan Boyle for example. Susan is a great case in point for growing into your destiny. We all have catalysts that occur in our lives allowing us a brief door to walk through to something much larger.

The question is, will you recognize the opportunity and will you be brave enough to walk through it. Susan Boyle said yes to herself this time and look where it’s taken her.

On January 21, 2009 she stepped on the stage for her audition on Britain’s Got Talent. I think we all know the rest of that story.

When I blogged about seeing her video on April 16th, it had gone from 9 million views the day before to 13 million. Today with the top 2 version of the video totaling about 120 million views, Susan Boyle’s performance was Youtube‘s most watched video of 2009. (Here’s the page to watch the video since they’ve disabled embedding.)

Fast forward a year and on January 19, 2010, Susan Boyle has sold 8,000,000 copies of her debut CD in just 6 weeks and has been #1 on Billboard the entire time. I believe I also heard it made her the biggest selling female artist ever.

Look where that one decision to go for an audition has taken her.

Are you brave enough to grow into your destiny?

What is it going to take for you to create a blueprint for your life?

When will you ask yourself the important questions that will begin the conversation you must have with yourself?

We all have a passion, a life purpose, a reason for being here. When you discover what to that is specifically for you, you will re-connect with your source. Your life will be in alignment and things will flow much more easily.

And your financial situation will flow as well because you are in alignment. Buying into the belief that you can’t make money doing what you love is a huge lie that is costing you your life’s work.

When you are living on purpose, everything fits, it just works. You’ll feel like there’s more time in the day, more energy in your body, more passion in your voice, more love in your life.

Isn’t that what you want? Of course it is, so what is holding you back from going for your dream?

This is just the beginning of the story for Susan Boyle. She’s only one year into this journey of growing into her destiny. Even so, it must be obvious to you that this is a perfect example of what being in alignment looks like. What has happened for her couldn’t happen if she wasn’t following her path.

What would your life look like a year from now if you decide today that you are going to make growing into your destiny your top priority this year?

I’m encouraging you to post your vision for your destiny on my blog and declare yourself publicly because thinking about it or just visualizing it is not enough. You need to declare it to the Universe and put yourself on the line.

A study at Brigham Young University show that the more fully you steps into your goal, the bigger chance you have of achieving it.

Here’s the commitment levels and your chance of achieving it:
That’s a good idea                                                           10%
I’m going to do it                                                             25%
Setting a specific date                                                     40%
Having a specific plan                                                     50%
Telling someone else                                                       60%
Set a specific time to share with someone                  95%

So you pick what you’d like your chances of success to be and act accordingly.
