Today, I’d like to share with you a recent interview I had with Michelle when I got to ask her some questions on the subject of the Deadly D’s of Destiny. I hope you enjoy it.

Gill Potter: How do you view becoming Master of one’s destiny in the midst of the great changes going on in 2012?

Michelle Casto: The most important shift is ceasing to pursue things in the outer world and begin to pursue your inner world. We are shifting from living from our heads to living from our hearts and responding to our inner urges and inclinations.

With so many changes in the economy, we are being invited to take charge of our own financial and career destinies. This means discovering divine gifts that we did not even know we possessed, bringing them to the light, and creating a new life based on our True Purpose.

The changes and crisis that you see is actually an opportunity for you to dig deep, find the source of ALL within and begin anew, based upon a strong spiritual foundation of love and wisdom.

If you know there is more for you and it has your name on it, you have begun the process of awakening to your True Self. You are ready to shed the programs, limitations and out-dated programs that hold you back from living with more purpose and power. This is what it means to go on a hero’s journey….and when you become the Master of Your Destiny, then your life will be in alignment with the Divine, which is where you can more easily express your innate power and potential.

Gill Potter: What are the Deadly D’s of destiny? -can you expand upon these please

Michelle Casto: In the book, The Destiny Discovery, I discuss several Deadly D’s; each one detrimental to the fulfilment of your Destiny.

Let’s look at doubt, which is one of the most deadly of them all. Doubt is a traitor to your mind, because it fills you with insidious thoughts that you are not enough, or somehow NOT what you really are. Let’s say you doubt that you are a great teacher, when in reality you are. When you doubt yourself, it is difficult if not impossible, for Reality to reflect back anything other than that back to you, so you may find yourself getting close to something, only to have it slip through your fingers.

When we want something in life, say a new career, a soul mated relationship or more money, we attract and create it based on our level of FAITH and conviction. If we want something and believe that we can have it, it will come to us. If we want something and doubt that we can have it, it will continue to allude us. That is why it is important to guard the thoughts in your own mind and fill your consciousness with positive and affirming ideas and concepts, through
reading, reciting, and repetition.

Some of the other D’s are detours, dark nights, distractions, depletion, and denial. The way we combat these have specific remedies, but the main thing is to have FAITH and to KNOW that you deserve that which you desire.

Gill Potter: What 3 tips can you give us to overcome resistance when faced with obstacles and fears in life?

Michelle Casto: When we are faced with changes, challenges, and obstacles, we tend to “default” into a form of resistance, a pushing against the reality that IS. This does no good, and will only exhaust and frustrate you. What you have to learn to do is see resistance as a sign that there is something for you; maybe a lesson, opportunity or experience that you are meant to have that will further your Soul’s Journey. It certainly takes courage and vulnerability to do things outside of your comfort zone, so here are some tips:

The first tip I have to offer is to stop and breathe. When you feel resistance, often your “mental monsters” are running wild, throwing out fearful ideas and scary scenarios. When you stop, breathe, and relax, reminding yourself that in this moment, All is Well, this will help you to avoid going into a spiral of negativity. The faster you catch yourself, the better, by the way!

The second tip is to ask yourself empowering questions: What is right about this that I am not getting? What lesson or gift is there for me here? Asking a question puts you into a receptive mode where infinite possibilities live.

The third tip is to hire a mentor right away. Remember that every new level of life or business that you go to often requires a new and upgraded YOU. When you learn from the experience of a mentor, you shorten your learning curve and they will assist you in releasing the resistance and raising your resonance so you can achieve your goals, intentions and ultimate Destiny. All successful people know the secret of success is seeing the fear, doing it anyway, and receiving
guidance and support every step of the way.

Truly, as we head into a new year, and even more than that, a new era of higher consciousness, it’s time for all of us to let go of the resistance and choose Courage.
