Do you believe in fate or that we create our own destiny?

Question

I believe when we were born we were all given a gift that gift is choice we get to choose who you want to be alive by the things that we say and that we do..

Your destiny could be the most powerful the most beautiful the most smartest and most wisest. Person in this world it's your choice

I think that we all have a destiny. That destiny. Your destiny my destiny is to become one with self one with others and one with this universe... There's a bigger picture out there... We've been lied to for thousands and thousands of years and who we Are why we're here.
.
. Your destiny to become the best you can be if you believe in God your creator is because he is within you you are him and you have to become the best you can possibly be it's your choice.

That's my belief you can believe whatever you want remember you were born you were giving a gift to choice you get to choose who you want to be in life by the things you say do..

It's a long road with many paths some good some bad but you always find your way as long as you have yourself in your heart you will always find the way.

I think fate is for people that don't believe in themselves and whatever happens happens is what they believe that's their fate. . Fate sound like selling yourself short not believing in your self . And don't drive for the next level higher and the next level higher in the next level higher

Sometimes, it's something else. Religious folks call it "God's Plan". Watch "A Serious Man" or read the Book of Job in the Bible to get a feel for what I am trying to say.

We create our own destiny. That does not preclude things being completely outside of our control. I was sexually abused, by a family member for about 6 years, and after two years of him not sexually abusing me, he raped me just 3 days after my 13th birthday! ALL of that was out of my control. However, I used those negative experiences to first get certified as a peer counselor, then I worked my butt off to graduate high school in only two years, and graduate undergraduate college in just two years, three months! I could have become promiscuous, and ended up as a sex worker, as many sexual abuse victims end up going that route!

However, I decided to work hard, and put all of that anger and pain into my academic work, and become a survivor, instead of a victim! If everything goes according to plan, I will be a licensed therapist by the end of December, 2024. I’ll be helping teens and tweens who were abused and raped by family members and other trusted adults. Fate did NOT cause my uncle to rape me, every weekday afternoon for 3 ½ months! Him being a pedophile with NO self control did THAT! What I did was create my own destiny, despite all the terrible trauma that he inflicted on me! We make our own destiny.

I really hope this helps answer your question.
Sincerely, Laura 🤗 🥰

A little bit of both. I use the word purpose because i feel it's more a purpose than a destiny.

I believe god has a purpose for us all.

However, he believes in free will. He will not force us to fulfill our purpose. He will nudge us in the right direction. Hoping we fullfill it

Yes i know destiny means something that will happen. So i think if we follow God's will, and we pray to god to help guide us to our purpose, he has chosen we will be destined to fulfill our purpose

We continue our journey based on the cards we have been dealt with, which are possibly based on "luck" till some point.
Then we use those cards the way we deem better.
Could be "wins" , could be "losses".
(Although I don't much believe in wins, but that is another topic.)

I know it doesn't seem like it answers the question, but it does.

RebelinSteel · Answer

I believe we create our own destiny but that fate is a fickle bitch with a really bad sense of humour.

Kelley1 · Answer

I don't believe in fate as normally defined. However, I am not certain, that even if we believe we have choices, everything we do and think is the result of matter following the laws of motion.

Yannae · Answer

Fate as in a reaction from an action, yeah. If I spill water on my carpet. The carpet is gonna be wet. It is fated to be wet if spill that water.

TheGriffin93 · Answer

Both. They complete eachother. I believe that our "fate" is created by our actions of the present. What we do today, moreover, how we respond, produces the outcome of what we call "fate".

call_me_scar · Answer

We create how our life turns out with a bit of luck rng and an extended version of the butter fly effect but no fate as that would mean something wanted life to be this way and we don't have evidence to prove that

AviatorTom · Answer

We create our own destiny, but some things are beyond our control.

OddBeMe · Answer

Fate never made any sense. Especially religiously where they shrug off the inequities of the Bible to “free choice”.

In the end I doubt there’s a magic sky man or omniscient being hearing our prayers.

SeriouslyNotSerious · Answer

I kinda believe in both, 'cause there are things that we may or may not control.

Anonymous · Answer

I believe I create my own destiny. Otherwise if it was just left up to fate we wouldn’t have to do anything because no matter what in the end where we end up would be fate.

Berethor · Answer

I don't believe in fate or anything else that is supernatural, if I had fate it sucks anyway.

Nikki1989 · Answer

No. 90% of life is what you make of it.

andy530 · Answer

I believe reality is a good mix of both. We create our own destiny within the contest and with limitations that our outside of our control. In other words, we do the best with what we have.

nawtee_me · Answer

Both, I believe that things come our way. That things presents itself to us but that we also have choice. We can choose to accept or deny them.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

We create our own. Our actions have consequences, for better or worse.

exitseven · Answer

I had an uncle who said that fate favors the one who digs the deepest foxhole.

HumbleDragon · Answer

For me it’s God who determines my fate. So yes I predestined to be saved by Christ. We all are.

Rohaan2020 · Answer

I believe in the combination of both…. We cannot just sit depending of the fate… but one does not create his own destiny unless the fate is in his favour

dragoblack · Answer

To a point. I've had enough lifelong repetition in some aspects to know what's fate and what is built.

LiamJHayden · Answer

In most things, the choices we make determine our trajectory.
