Do you believe in Destiny?

Ok hello friends here I am again.  I really wish I wrote in this more often, maybe that can be a new goal of mine.  But I usually choose to write when something moves me and I feel like sharing.

So last night I went to Church, (yes mom I went to church, I know you'll read this and be happy), and the speaker spoke about destiny.  I decided when I woke up in the morning that I was gunna write about what I had learned and share it with others.  Then when I woke up in the morning I had a message from http://www.tut.com/.   If you have never heard of TUT.com I encourage you to check it out after reading this and sign up for it.  It has changed my life and I'm sure it can do nothing but good for anybody.  I believe in energy, and that God has a plan for me, the world has a plan for me, and I'm here on this planet to just figure out and do what that plan is.  Tut.com sends me a message to my cell phone everyday, usually motivational, from the "Universe" that encourages me to follow my Destiny. Today it read:

"Just curious but when was the last time you relied upon me? You know, consciously realized you weren't alone as you went about your daily affairs, choosing a path, finding a parking space, or a new friend, or a great idea....and expected, at least, a little something?? hmmmmmmmm.  Well, lets just say we do it more often. K?  From the Universe"

This message to me says nothing more than to rely on someone else and myself of course and follow my destiny. 

Now without getting too in depth as to what I believe in religiously, because I know not everyone believes in the same thing.  Some of you might not believe in anything, and if that's the case then that's your choice.  But I do believe that we all have a plan.  We ALL have a destiny!  Last night I learned several things can get in the way of your destiny.  Feelings, Problems, opportunities, and people.

First of all feelings.  The speaker last night continually said "It just feels right"  Have you ever felt that??  "this relationship just feels right."  "This Ecstasy pill is gunna make me just feel right"  When you know it is just not right.  We all are working on a path to move in the right direction, although some of us turn down the wrong streets and step away from our paths now and then.  Reminds me of being a little boy, and telling people what we wanted to be when we grew up.  lol.  I wanted to be an anesthesiologist cus they were Dr's and made good money.  lol!  But the point is that we all wanted to be somebody, somebody important.  Fireman, police officers, Drs, coaches, etc.  No one ever says they wanna be a drug addict, a killer, a rapist, etc  and those that are, have done nothing more than fallen off track from their destiny.   Those decisions of staying in a bad relationship, doing the wrong drugs, etc because it feels good, might throw you off axis and not in the path of your destiny. 

Problems.  Who doesn't have problems??  Shit I do.  Lots of them!  Everyone does!  We need to not allow our problems, that are everyday problems allow us to get in our way.  We need to move forward push through those problem and continue on our path.  My father always said to me, "Son you are the only person that chooses if you are going to have a bad day or a good day."  I of course told him to shut up and stop telling me that at the time, but now I'm 31 years old a much wiser than a 10 year old, it make sense now.  And there is nothing more true!! Thanks Dad by the way!.  Do not allow the problems of everyday life, get in the way of your good day, because they are going to happen, they will happen, and they will never stop.

Opportunities....How often do opportunities get in the way of your destiny??  How often do you hear or know about friends getting off their path to go make extra money somewhere else.  Let me tell you people!!  Money is awesome but it is definitely not everything.  I'm sure we all know someone that has made the decision to do something for money.  Hell this comes to mind right quick, sad but true, how many of you girls out there are taking your clothes off, doing porn, being an escort, etc for some quick money.  Is that your destiny??  Is that what your plan was gunna be?  Is that what you said you wanted to be when you were a little girl?  I seriously doubt it.  Then why get off track, why not follow your dreams?  I applaud those of you that have realized what you were doing wasn't right and those of you that are now back on path.   How many of my friends have moved to Vegas for "opportunity"  Now I'm not saying by any means that it is wrong, because there is A LOT of opportunity out in Vegas.  But how many people have done it to make money right now and lost track of what their dreams are?  If you think I'm talking to you, then I encourage you to stop doing what you once thought was an opportunity and get back on track to following your dreams.  The money will follow, I promise.

People...  Do you have a friend that is always negative?  People in your life that just don't need to be there?  Why are they there?  Life is to short and your dreams are too big to take people with you.  Now to hit some of the goals of you destiny, you can not do it alone.  "people that run alone, die fast, people that run together live long" You must align yourself with positive, encouraging people, that help you move in the right direction to one day full fill your dreams and destiny.  And those people that are not right in your life, they need to be left at the waist side.  This I believe is one of the times in life that it is ok to be selfish.  You know what is right for you, you know who you should be hanging out with,  Just cus it feels good, just cus it feels right, doesn't make it right.


So as I wrap this up, I want to encourage everyone that reads this to first of all sign up for Tut.com and secondly follow your dreams.  Weather you believe in God or not, I think most people believe that we all have a plan.  Maybe go sit on the beach today, stare at the water for a while, look at Catalina and ask your self  "what's my plan, what's my destiny"  Now of course we don't know what our destiny is.  But what we can do is this:

Do not let feelings make decisions for us, do not let problems get in our way, do not let opportunity make us make the wrong turn, and do not let people that don't belong in our lives in it.

Believe in yourself, believe that there is a plan, just put one foot in front of the other and keep on moving.  Align yourself with positive people.  Live, Love, and Laugh A LOT! 

We are all here on borrowed time.

What's your destiny??

Love,

Matthew Alvin Meddock

Just thinking.

I was put on this earth to make a change in the people around me, my community, my friends, my family, and the people I am in contact with.  I wake up every morning ready to take on the world, I try to put my fears behind me and move forward.  Smiles are a regular thing in my life, not because i'm lucky, but because I choose to be that way.

Today is Tuesday, I have many project to accomplish, lots of work to do.  I get to see a special someone tonight that brings even more smiles to my face. 

Life is good.
