Whether you want to move into the career of your dreams, get into peak physical condition, or move homes, there are almost certainly dreams that you have which you very much want to accomplish, but which currently seem a bit out of reach.
When it comes to being able to shape your destiny in the way and in the direction you want, it helps to have certain tips and tricks up your sleeve that can make you more effective, in general.
Here are a few tips for more effectively shaping your destiny.
-
Determine the direction you want to head in, and then work consistently to begin a “positive spiral”
Whether you want to set about finding the right employer so that you can feel content and fulfilled at work, or whether you want to achieve any number of other things, one of the best overall practices is to firstly figure out the direction you want to head in, and to then work consistently to create a “positive spiral” in your life.
Positive spirals take many forms, but all rely on one fundamental truth: that is, it’s easier to go from strength to strength than from weakness to strength, and anything you can do to begin generating positive upward momentum has the potential to work wonders in terms of transforming your life.
If you’re not exactly sure where to start, start with the smallest positive act you can, in a given direction, and go from there.
Do this as much as you can, as often as you can, and in as many different areas as you can, and you can expect the overall effect to be very positive indeed.

Simplify and harmonise your life as much as possible
As a general rule, you will always be much more effective when you’re operating from a place of calm and focus, than when you’re operating from a place of anxiety, and distracted confusion.
In order to become more effective at everything you do, work to simplify and harmonise your life as much as possible.
Focus on fewer things, but give them more of your attention. Keep your home organised and de-cluttered. And do your best to ensure that you’re balancing rest and work properly.

Practice doing the best “work” you can, within your sphere of influence – whatever that might be
It’s easy to get carried away thinking about all the great and ambitious things you would like to do, in theory. In reality, however, your scope for action may be a fair bit narrower than you might like.
A great way of preventing wasted time and effort, and of enhancing your well-being, too, is by focusing your energies more precisely within your sphere of influence – whatever that might be at the moment.
In other words, leverage your actions where they will have the greatest and most reliable impact.
That might mean advancing a certain project or proposal within your business, or it might just mean organising your home and committing to a good exercise routine.
