More often than not, there are usually two voices that pop up within the mind of people; the voice of doubt, and the voice of purpose. The voice of doubt is what whispers fears, limitations, and hesitation. It is that voice that tells you that you are unable to do something, or keep reminding you that you may fail at the attempt. This voice feeds on uncertainty, on mistakes, and on your weaknesses, and makes you to settle for the less. However, there is another voice that speaks positively; it is the voice of purpose. Which is the voice of destiny. This voice emphasizes on your strengths, speaks with clarity and courage. It reminds you of your potentials and that you are well able to undertake the task and succeed at it. Being able to distinguish between the two voices and making a choice to follow the voice of purpose can change the course of your life positively.

I have come to understand that the voice of doubt could come in a persistent and persuasive way. It also tends to make your challenges and the obstacles look bigger just to discourage you from taking steps. Subtly enough, this voice disguises as caution, reason, and practicality, which makes it to be easily welcomed without having reservations. You might want to take a step and a voice within you may just whisper to your inside that you are not ready for the step, or that you may not succeed at it. It may even try to present you with the reasons not to try. Listening to this voice of doubt will just make you to remain at your comfort zone, where you may feel is okay, but it will prevent growth and progress.
Then there is another voice that is bold, makes you to take daring step, reminds you of the limitless possibilities in life, of the power that resides within you; this is the voice of purpose. This is also the voice of destiny. It is true that the path may be unclear, but the voice of destiny tells you to take a step nonetheless. You may not see the entire pathway to the destination from the start, just the same way you may not see the entire staircase from the first step, but it should not stop you from taking the first step. As a matter of fact, the courage to take the first step is the primary requirement to arriving at the destination. You cannot make progress while standing at a spot until you take a step.
The moment you start to intentionally listen to the voice of destiny, the voice of doubt will constantly be subdued. The moment you choose courage over fear, actions over hesitation, or belief over uncertainty, you are consolidating the voice of destiny within you. Even the small decision you make to take a step becomes amplified, and that small step can produce giant strides. Possibilities and impossibilities have their root in the mind. The voice within you that you listen to will determine which path you will trail. Listening to the voice of destiny is a sure path to achieving greatness in life.

Success will definitely result from your continuous and repeated choice to follow the voice of destiny. The more you follow the voice of destiny, the less the voice of doubt will be. Both of them cannot coexist. Every breakthrough you see, every achievement you witness, and every moment of personal growth are all products of taking courage and refusing to be held back by fear. If you keep waiting until fear disappears before you take any step, you will wait in futility. In fact, you will wait forever. You have to take the step irrespective of the fear and watch how productive the step will be. Even if you did not succeed at it, it will still be a lesson for you to be better.
