Playing Percentages

In a world that advocates playing the percentages you might find yourself feeling that certain people are either lucky or unlucky.  Or worse, you might credit Tiger Woods with just being a darling of the gods. 

I heard about story where Mr. Woods responded to an interviewer that success is rooted in the principle of "you get what you put into it."  Kinda makes you pause…I agree with Tiger Woods with the added note of Destiny underlying it all.  That is why I so often refer to Destiny as the greatest pursuit one can involve oneself in.  I do believe we (in this case Americans) have discounted this at our own cost.  Cynical, bored or corrupt, we’ve just decided it is too hard to pursue something so mysterious and unseen.  We have zero desire to endure that kind of process. 

Destiny is the big story written by an even bigger Author.  It is hard, but it is simple.

I’m here to tell you that I wake up every day reminding myself of why my Destiny matters.  I remind myself of how the story has played out thus far.  History helps you understand the ground you’re walking on.  This from a man who may be half way through the motion picture.  These steps I once questioned, but now I know that each human becoming has been given all that I have…if they believe…if they are willing. 

It’s when we stop believing and turn off our willingness that story ceases to be.
