What Is Your Destiny?

Fate is the idea that our lives may be bound to a fixed set of circumstances. That regardless of our actions, we don’t have much control over our lives because ultimately there is a plan that has already been put in place. There are many theories that exist, however, each of them rightfully open for consideration and discussion. Some may believe that deterministic physical laws of the universe are the governing power over our lives; that every single chemical reaction is predetermined to occur. Others may believe that there is a ‘God’ that has complete control or knowledge over what is going to occur. There has been no proven is no right or wrong answer, these are all only theories.

The ultimate question remains whether we are truly bound to this pre-determined fate. Are we? What do you think?

It’s hard to determine the truth when there is a lack of methods able to measure or quantify such a thing. I personally believe in the possibility that we each have our own destinies in which we are naturally drawn towards. We may each have somewhere different in which we are unconsciously headed.

But where do our own conscious actions come in? Do we really have a choice when it comes to shaping our future?

It could be that with each and every step of life, we choose how to act and react to the events in our lives. We choose how we perceive the things around us. We may be naturally drawn to our destinies, however it’s ultimately up to us whether we act upon them or not.

Some events that occur may not be at all in our control. However, we can determine whether we see them as a negative or a positive. This is definitely where we come in; where we are able to make a choice. We may not be able to change what happens, but we could potentially choose the quality of our life’s experience.

And even in this sense, there is no fate that is better than the other. It may simply come down to how we chose to perceive it. The ironic thing is that fate is not something that we can clearly predict. In order to find out what our fate may be, if we do have it at all, we must be patient and wait for the future to become the present. And with each and every action that we make, we are able to work towards or against what may be drawn towards.

Not only that, but we have the power to consciously alter the quality of our lives by how we react to the events around us. In a way we do have a fate, the foundations being provided by who we are as unique individuals. Our likes, our dislikes, our beliefs and personalities might help to lead us each in our own directions. And with each conscious action that we make, we may have the power to carve this path.

It’s exciting to think about what one’s fate may be, if there is such a thing, for no one knows exactly how it might operate. There are still so many unanswered questions. Not only that, but no one’s life is exactly the same. Your life is unique to you, you are the only one that has been given the gift of living it. How magnificent is that? How beautiful is the possibility that we are given such a freedom over your life?

It’s phenomenal. Now a question remains.
