Your Destiny Is Not Written in the Stars — It’s Written by You!
Can we change the lines of our destiny with the power of our thoughts?
Let me tell you a story.
It was a scorching afternoon. The blazing sun had turned the land into a desert of hot sand. Lord Buddha was walking with his disciples. Their feet burned. Blisters formed. Relief was nowhere to be seen.
And then — they spotted a huge tree with wide shade. They walked towards it to rest.
Just then, a famous astrologer happened to pass by. He noticed something strange on the sand. Footprints. But not ordinary ones — these were extraordinary, majestic, divine. He stopped.
“These can’t be of a common man,” he thought. “Such markings, such symbols… these are the signs of a powerful emperor!”
He followed the prints, expecting a king. But what he found shocked him.
It was a monk. Sitting silently under the tree. Calm. Peaceful. Serene. Not a trace of royalty on his body — no crown, no throne.
The astrologer was confused.
“How is this possible? These footprints… they belong to someone who rules the world. Yet you have nothing!”
