Do you believe in destiny?
What IS “destiny”?
- an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future
- the ultimate agency that predetermines the course of events (often personified as a woman); “we are helpless in the face of Destiny”
- fortune: your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you);
These are the definitions of the word on the net.
But the question is, do you believe in it?
Do you believe that no matter how far you walk, how hard you work, or how bad it hurts, you’ll always get to where you need to be?
Do you believe that no matter how careful you are when riding that bike, if it’s meant to be your time to say “bye-bye Dorothy”, it could happen even by a bird hitting the visor of your helmet and you crash landing at the wrong spot????
This question has always been pestering me. And being the confused “brainy” I am, I sometimes think it’s stupid. I mean, it’s our life. Every road we take leads to some place. At every junction we get to make a choice. Where the next road leads us is entirely based on the choice we made. So what’s destiny got to do with it? Aren’t we actually writing our destiny every time we make a choice?
Am at a main “junction” where I have to make an important choice and am really confused if I should go left or right or just follow the road straight ahead. Hmmm… what do I do? *Crash* Oops! A car coming from my right just crashed into a truck coming from my opposite side. Good Lord! I could have been just crossing the road when that happened. Guess my time hasn’t come yet…to say bye-bye. Oh well, the roads on my right and straight ahead are blocked now by the truck and that car and all those cars that screeched to a stop, some banging into others. What a mess!! Oh dear! Am late. Got to go, but which way??? Ok, the road to my left.
…And I continue the journey of life…
Now, here, did the accident “help” me make the choice? Or did it force me to take that decision? Did destiny make me take the left road by causing that car crash? Or am I still writing my destiny by taking the road and not bothering to actually make a choice and maybe take one of the other roads? I could have even helped someone in need at the crash scene, who knows!
Will anyone ever know?
My life has had so many twists and turns in its course. It’s taken me all of my life to get where I am now. And I always wonder if whatever happened did happen for a reason. Is it my destiny that’s brought me here? Or was it just my choices in life? Are destiny and our choices one and the same? God! Am confused!!
All I can think of now is, destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
Needs more thinking…
The over thinking mind, to you i give a lollipop because i know how it feels.
On the whole destiny issue i think that alot of life is about the choices you make but that there is a sort of destiny. That we are here for a purpose. Each and everyone of us. Whether it be to further science or make everyone around you laugh its still a purpose. So i supose your destiny to me, is like who you are in life, and you make the choices, probably unconciously to become that person.
Yes i do live in Melbourne and Australia is a great country so if you get the chance definietly come.
And your layout is looking awesome 🙂

life dosent come easy..and like u said u have to make ur choices..be it good or bad..it all has a purpose..cuz u learn a lot..what u choose becomes ur destiny.am sure every one feels that way at one point of life..what u choose is what you are..
Yeah, that’s true. What u choose becomes ur destiny!
But then why do people say “Poor chap. He was a nice guy. And he was doing really well in life. Unfortunately he had to die young. What can we do, it’s fate.”
Fate? What about his destiny? What did he choose? To be a successful guy in life or be a prey to his fate and die young, or both? Was his dying young in any way related to his choices in life? What was his destiny?
I sometimes feel destiny and fate, are just words created by us to put the blame on, when we don’t know who to blame.
oh i definitely believe in destiny!
i have lots of dreams and im definitly not getting there on my own..
im counting on destiny to help me out..so let’s hope it exists!!
nice stuff..
