When You Hold Onto Your History, You Do It At The Expense Of Your Destiny.
The world cannot hold onto you, for the world is not sentient. The world doesn't have a mind nor does it have desires; it is only your mind's objectivisation. It is your own mind's play which imagines that an object-call it the mind or whatever-can hold onto you. It is the idea you have of who you are that is holding onto its own fearful projections as the mind. Leave all of this and remain as the pure, joyous Self.
Hold onto your dreams 'cause they're always worth havin'. Hold on to your dreams til the day your life is said and done.
The 4th of July is the first great fact in your nation's history — the very ring-bolt in the chain of your yet undeveloped destiny. Pride and patriotism, not less than gratitude, prompt you to celebrate and to hold it in perpetual remembrance. I have said that the Declaration of Independence is the ring-bolt to the chain of your nation's destiny; so, indeed, I regard it. The principles contained in that instrument are saving principles. Stand by those principles, be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost.
To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny.
Destiny is not preordained. Destiny is ordained totally by you. Every single moment of your NOW existence is the result of your previous thought. The idea that everything is already laid out for you in advance is a hallucination. You can and do manifest your own destiny.
All along, you've been shaping your destiny unconsciously. But you can also work on it consciously. If you make the effort to access your core and realise that everything is your responsibility, and shift your focus inside you, then you can rewrite your destiny.
You can't lose what you serve. That's the secret. What you serve, you can't lose. What you don't serve and what you try to hold onto, you can't hold onto. It's always slipping out of your fingers.
It’s so important to create in your own voice, to hold onto what makes you unique, and have faith in your vision.
This is how you hold onto your family. You hold them with open hands so they are free to find futures of their own. It's just that simple.
To control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.
You cannot amputate your history from your destiny, because that is redemption.
It's time to stop letting your history control your destiny.
Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.
Your history does not need to define your destiny.
You cannot embrace your destiny if you do not let go of your history.
Don't let your history hinder you from your destiny... you are only held back by yourself! You aren't what they say you were, you are who God says you are!!
