Have you ever heard about grand design those are, made for you, I have mentioned this in so many times in my different articles on different sites. Believing in destiny though is tricky; people have different views on this subject. I believe that destiny is real, that there is one person or job destined for you. If not then there is a single turning point in your life when you will find that particular person or job in your destiny. Therefore, it could probably be true that destiny is real, and that no effort is, needed because destiny will find its way to you on its own way.
However, love is not the same. Love requires efforts. Achieving goals is not the same. Achieving goals require efforts again. Success is not the same. Success requires your efforts. It could be your destiny to be, loved by someone, but if you have not exerted effort to find the love of your life, there will be no love even if destiny finds it for you. It could be your destiny to achieve a goal, but if you have not exerted any effort in achieving that goal, then the goal is meaningless if destiny achieves it for you.
Going south
It could be true destiny will find its way to you. However, everything that makes that destiny worthwhile is in your own doing. "An apple you've harvested from the tree, you yourself planted will always be sweeter than any apple you ever buy from the market.
I know many people want so badly to believe there is some kind of sacred timeline already written for them, I sometimes find myself in that place as well. Sadly, that is never the case, except in movies of course, what would not we give to be those people? It could be your destiny to be successful, but if destiny succeeds for you then it is not at all your success, so keep making efforts to reach their where you are destined to be.
Reaching North
I have always leaned more towards a deterministic view of the world. Being familiar with quantum mechanics and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, I still believe that the outcome of the world could actually be, forecasted if we had all the necessary variables.
Now, does that mean that everything has already been, decided beforehand? Not at all, within those variables lies the freedom of choice. I believe in destiny. If you are destined for each other no matter what comes between you and your partner, no matter what travails and trials are met, it you are really destined for each other all these will be overcome. Happy are those who found their destiny in life. I myself am thinking where my destiny is, is it in this life or in another life. It may have passed me unknowingly when I was not looking. I just wish that if he is somewhere around that I should meet him before it is too late. However, if destiny brings him in the twilight of my life, so be it.
That is destiny
Well, what I do think is that there are possibilities and situations destined to happen but we still have the free will to manipulate that destiny. As for example, one company is destined to fail but the employees who work in that company work hard to keeps the company going. So despite the fact that destiny says it will fail, people still work around things to overcome that destiny. This world is full of possibilities, every action you do (or not do) leads to a consequence which may be good, bad or really too bad. Life is what you make it; you only get out of life what you put into it. Every thing happens for a reason, not sure if I believe in destiny, each day to me is a blessing, what ever happens each day is a destiny.
