The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.
A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

The path is so unreal,
so unknown..
Desire…
so dangerous..
Do you still want to go?
:-)
Depends on what you’re talking about. My destiny has been decided for me, “my calling.” I’m seeking a path (career) to help others that have suffered from emotional/mental abuse. Everything does happen for a reason, I wish for NO one to endure what I have. And I want to be there for others that have.
I have accepted my destiny, I’m seeking a career in helping other women that have suffered from emotional abuse. Everything DOES happen for a reason and your path is chosen for you.
True ! You should never look back or go back,
Some challenges can never wait ,while others can be worth the wait .A week is good then we will know for sure whether to accept our destiny . Love and Light Tania.
I think that challenge always waits for us and we have to face it in one point of time. there is no time limit for challenge. It is present in every second of our lives. Fullfilling our destiny is the biggest challenge of all.
That is my modest opinion.
Most people don’t have a week to accept destiny. Its more like a series of split second scenarios. In moment and between moments, each of us is confronted with perceived events. Our reaction to each one connects the dots and creates what we come to sense as life. Awareness develops from the moment of conception. How we shape that, raise it up or not, is all part of a process that transforms the soul.
Dear Karen,
I can feel your despair, and I am so sorry for you, but…
the hate won’t get you anywhere, love is the only way that can liberate you, that can give you peace;
find it in your heart, even if it hurts so much.
lots of love

A young Austrian Skier lost his leg recently in a world cup race in Norway, and when giving his first press interview, he was asked the proverbial question, “how are you doing and coping with the situation?” When I listened to his answer, I cried, because it was such a brave and truthful answer, an answer which most certainly will help other colleagues continue the fight, follow their quest.
His answer: “I have accepted my fate (destiny) and now I look to the future!”
I think this says it all……
If you choose the correct path then there
is no way back you have to go forward.If you don’t feel fear then you are on the wrong path.
It means no new challenge.
New challenges are offered on the Natural Way
You have periods of rest and periods
to face the new problems.The purpose of challenges are to enrich our talents.
That’s what our hearts wanted.
A week is more than enough..that is true..when you think you need more time you really waste your time…Life does not wait..
The destiny writes its story our whole life, there is no time, no limits, only…Light.
I think that a challenge is not something that strucks you. It is a work of your mind and the universum. When they come together it is your legend that will see it. And than a week to decide is OK, because it will not wait.
I am totally stuck here. How do you know what’s your destiny? How do you decide? Is not what you decide that is your destiny?, whatever it is?
Can we escape?
I don’t think so.
Enlighten me, please, if I have it wrong!

Dear Karen,
Mind is the powerful tool, but the heart is the most powerful mind of all.

Dear Karen,
It is good to hear you are using your energy on helping other people. I wish you all the luck making this a better world.
Kindly,

But what’s the use going against the current when one can let go and simply float, go wherever the waters take him/her. The path has already been drawn long before our creation, it’s whether we accept it or not that makes the journey worthwhile.
I’m sick of going against the current, fighting the inevitable so now I’m ready to surrender and embrace my destiny. It’s about time I stopped worrying about the route I’m taking and looking down at my feet, trying to control each step they take when I could walk with my head help up high and enjoy the scenery.

I’m not sure I can shed some light here. I’m more confuse by your questions than by the quote even.
You said “Is not what you decide that is your destiny?”
but then you ask “Can we escape?”
If you believe you can decide your destiny, there’s no need to escape. Is there? I mean what are you escaping from; what you decided on in the first place?
How do we know what is our destiny? Is not a question you can answer by reason, or intellect alone. When you’re presented with a challenge you know it is “your” destiny because it’s been presented to “you”. what you need to decide is do I accept this challenge as my destiny or not? How do you decide this,you can think it over and over again; you can try to rationalize, see the pros and cons of the challenge; you can ask people’s opinions; this will probably take more than a week. Your other option could be trust your instinct, your gut feelings; trust the Universe, God; believe this is “your” destiny; a week is more than enough time, you can do this in a moment.
Unless you have found it, ok.
Blessings.
“Each one at his own rythm”
A week is not enough for me, and maybe for many artists. I work three months on a piece, then I need to have an equal rest. I always did like that.
That’s why winter is generally the best season for me to create. Then I stay still, liberating, until I go out more in summer.
I always proceeded like that.
March is always the beginning of an introversion for me.
But since I loose the man I love, things are different. It seems I put my heart in jail.
But I can spread love anyway, in and out. It seems I can’t love someone particularly, but all.
That’s just that I’m a little bit like that “demon” woman. If I listened to me now, I will give. That’s why I’m doing.
Under all my skill is a person that want the world to shine.
That’s all I want. Indeed I have no real plan. As for now, I don’t really know my new language very well. I follow the signs.
I need to change one thing that restrain me for long. I know I need to change that thing, for a long time.
I just have to tell myself, this would change the world.
But i’m too coward for this.
No good, no step. ;p
MESSAGE FOR MARIA
Thank you Maria for your response; and you are exactly right in what you are saying: destiny is not a question you can answer by reason or intellect alone.
Perhaps I am fighting against mine at the moment, perhaps I should take some deep breaths and be grateful and accept and move forwards, and not struggle to understand. Trust the universe, as you say. But how hard that is at the moment!
I often find that I understand these things intellectually, but often I am lost emotionally (I also find it a very lonely experience), and then I am not sure which way to go.
…but then again, perhaps that is my destiny?
