The issue of destiny is loaded question. Nearly everyone wants to believe in the concept. Atheists may believe that there’s no God, no purpose and no point to life, but it’s pretty tough living that philosophy out in the day-to-day trenches.

The idea of destiny gives us a reason to go on, motivation that our lives matter beyond PTA meetings, job reviews and visits to the local coffee shop. The Christian tradition teaches that God has a purpose and plan for our lives. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, we have a higher calling and a guide to help us navigate our way through this world and the next.

Religious or not, most people want to believe they have a purpose for living, and would find it enormously difficult to go on without that knowledge.

So the question remains: Do we have a destiny, and is it possible to discover it?

We don’t have a locked down, concrete, unchanging destiny we were born to accomplish. Destiny isn’t a task. It’s not an end point. It’s not something you can check off a to-do list.

Your destiny is a moving target.

An unexpected divorce doesn’t derail your destiny. The soldier who lost his legs in battle hasn’t lost his destiny. Bankruptcy can’t undermine your destiny. Your purpose is bigger than any obstacle like physical limitations, financial circumstances, being fired or other failure. Nothing can change the fact that you have a unique reason for being here, and there’s still time to discover it.

I think we’ve spent too much time looking to the idea of destiny as a quick fix, a get-rich scheme or a stopping point. We think we’ll attend a conference and our destiny will be revealed to us during a workshop or seminar. We hope that it will descend out of the sky or someone will reveal it to us

We have a destiny. We have a purpose. We have one important thing. But it only comes with coaxing, work and action. Destiny wants to be pursued. It wants to be discovered. Why?

Because it’s in the journey we learn to understand and value what it means.

I do partially

Yeah, sometimes destiny does seem to be at play.

I see life as a movie where we're all actors with a pre-written script.

If you're into spirituality, you'll hear about things like soul contracts, etc. Spiritualists believe that we each make soul agreements with other souls before we enter this plane. Reason for that being to either settle karmic debts or learn valuable lessons. You'll notice that there'll be a few people in life who'll give you deja vu or the feeling like you've met them once before.

I'm indeed master of none. I just like to dabble with different subjects out of curiosity. The aim is never to be an expert, but be an annoying little know-it-all

LOL. Fancy peeps calling you Hermione Granger. Wouldn't that be a sight for lewd eyes.

I believe in destiny, alright. But I don't think it's fixed. I think if you veer off your destined path, your destiny changes.

Yes ur destiny is d composition of what God spoke into ur life from conception
