Take a step back, close your eyes, and clear your mind. Now focus only on yourself. Where you are, how you got there, the things that define you, the things that have an effect on you. Was this all predetermined, or was this just a spate of coincidence?
A word or an idea we know from stories and tales of hero's and saviours. They had what could be seen as great detinies. what is this destiny?
Is it a predetermined planned path for our lives and choices?Is it just an excuse, scape goat for blame, meaningless alternative? Perhaps it is just a way we describe where we are, because in essence, we dont really have any idea.
For an athlete who worked hard at accomplishment, would it be right to say it was their destiny to succeed? Would it be different if he never worked as hard? YES! Then, building on that, why can we all not feel that we can have a hand in our destiny to work hard and get results that fit?
"What is meant for you, will come to you" This is not concise to say if whats meant for you being dependant on what effort you make for it , and I feel, that though we get whats meant for us, we cannot understand it fully. Somethings are unfair, what do we know truly of the hearts of others?
As ive stated previously, i feel that we are beings who have understanding and free will, but there is a finite limit to outr understanding. Maybe destiny exists, maybe it doesnt in our understanding of it, but i dont think we have the capacity for all of that comprehension.
By acting on what we do know, if we want something, we should work for it. If we get it or not, we could say it is destiny to our understanding. But what should matter is how we deal with it thereafter. Appreciation of who we are and where we are in our lives is as much of a realisation of destiny that i can think of.
"Your Destiny is to DIE, but it's what you do inbetween in LIFE that matters."
