Do you believe that destiny is predetermined or that you make your own destiny?

I believe there is a line between: I was told that some things will happen in my future as a teenager, and may be that influenced me to make the wrong choices. I believe you can make the best of anything.

I have been told about my love life, about my career and for now some has been true, some is still to be discovered but I won't waste my time waiting for fortune around the corner, the lesson I have learned is that my life changed once I changed my way to see, understand, manage, handle, live, express and relate.

This is how you are, live and build your life.

Destiny will mean that you are just a piece in a puzzle that somebody else is putting together or not, who is God according to some or else...that way to take power away from human beings has been the leaders way (religious, political and more) to control humans. We should all sit home since birth and wait... nopE let's live and accept our RESPONSIBILITY.

I think that it is a combination of both. We are born into our circumstances and without the exercise of free will, choice and determination, we will follow a certain and predictable path in our lives. That is a destiny that is predetermined.

But we can not choose the path of least resistance, and choose to fight and rise above our circumstances. That is making our own destiny.

I talked a little more about this in a hub I did some time back.

I think we each make our own destiny, sometimes circumstances that are out of our hands, even sheer luck, may influence a bit, but the choice we make and the road we decide to take makes all the difference in the end. So, I think it's up to us, it's in our hands.

I don't believe in predestination. I also don't believe that we are able to completely control our destiny. You can influence it through preparation and hard work, but some things are still controlled by chance.

A little of both...I think some things are pre'destined'...meant to be, inescapable..the road you are to have traveled. I definitely believe that I have been destined to meet so many wonderfully caring individuals, sincerely caring, that have made a huge difference in my life.

But I do believe that in my case that certain choices I have made have created the destiny that I now have...

I believe that you create your destiny by what you believe and what you are willing to receive.

I think it is a combination of the two. Everyone has different gifts. These gifts are realized and developed as we walk out our destiny.As mentioned, free will has an effect on our destiny.

I believe it is possible to walk away from our destiny. When our will and destiny are in line, then we may have the most success. However, like a boat at sea, there is wind, weather, swell direction and current acting on our course.

I believe that we can have an impact on our destiny by our thoughts, attitudes and actions.

God's predestination and mankind's destiney as he see are two very different things. Man can not count All from beginning to end, but God does. God has predestined all humans to possess s Holy Spirit alone with giving man freedom of choice.So, only God has predetermined All; .

Man can only see so far into the future concerning some things but not all. Only thru the eyes of Jesus can one see this plan or predetermined course for one.

God knows All at one moment; the beginning to end.

There will always be a predetermined destiny.

But we can make our own destiny if we choose to do so.

Example: If you are destined to marry someone named A but you decide against it and marry B instead. This will be changing your own destiny.

This is normally done for those who apply Feng Shui by changing their destiny.

I believe that it is both. We clearly have free will in many matters. But I am certain that what will be will be, to a large degree because of the choices we are going to make.

Does that make sense? I see it as an extension of the Biblical debate about the coexistence of God's sovereign will and man's free agency. I believe that God already knows all of our choices that ever will be, and s sovereign will can incorporate our free choices into but again, we clearly have free agency, which is absolutely proven by our ability to sin.

Destiny can be altered because FREE WILL is involved in making choices! Fate cannot,Fate is unalterable!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
