In this post, we’ll explore Destiny versus Fate using an understanding of the Conscious Mind and the Subconscious Mind. You can then use this knowledge to become the Master of your Destiny instead of a Slave to your Fate.
Destiny Versus Fate ― Conscious Mind Versus Subconscious Mind
You have a Conscious Mind and a Subconscious Mind.
Your Conscious Mind is your objective analytical mind. It is the part of you that gives rise to your free will. It allows you to direct your focus and energy.
Your Subconscious Mind is your subjective emotional mind. It is the part of you that operates like a program generated by all of your habitual behaviours.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung
The Difference Between Destiny & Fate
Destiny is born out of the present. Fate is born out of the past.
When your behaviour is directed by the will of your Conscious Mind, you create a new future which is what we refer to as Destiny. When your behaviour is directed by the program of your Subconscious Mind, you create the familiar past which is what we refer to as Fate.
Therefore, the more you direct your behaviour using your Conscious Mind, the more you become a Master of your Destiny instead of a Slave to your Fate.
“Destiny is the result of consciously creating your own life. Fate is the result of failing in consciously creating your own Destiny.“
Summary
When your behaviour is directed by the will of your Conscious Mind, you create a new future. This is what we refer to as Destiny. When your behaviour is directed by the program of your Subconscious Mind, you create the familiar past. This is what we refer to as Fate.
The more you direct your behaviour using your Conscious Mind, the more you become a Master of your Destiny instead of a Slave to your Fate.
