Fate....

[PinK233]

Who here believes in fate? Either you believe your destiny is predetermined....or you make your own destiny?

I've been confused as of late....I used to think my destiny was predetermined with my religious beliefs and all, but lately I've been realizing that my life is the way it is b/c of certain things I've done or have failed to do...

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

I hear ya babe. I went through the same thing a while ago.

I suggest reading the book "Awakening the Buddah Within" by Surya Das. It's a great start, and it'll help you with some of your questions.

Everything happens for a reason, karma is real, and we are the masters of our fate. That pretty much sums up my thougts on "destiny."

i do.

i use circular logic(ive seen that term a few times here lately, its the latest) anyway's, thats what i use. you see, no matter what you say i can always come back with, "well, then that was your destiny".

in other words, even the choices you make are predetermined. so, when you say, "ive been realizing that my life is the way it is b/c of certain things ive done or failed to do". well doing those certain things or not doing them was your destiny.

I do believe in fate...everyone seems to come into my life for a reason...some have left without me truely understanding why but overtime I have discovered the reason and need for their presence in my life. I know my lord and savior watches over me closely and has a plan for my future.

Even in my greatest times of struggle I can feel his presence...When someone who was most dear to my heart left my life he was there. I know this because I went to Church and prayed for him to take away the pain. I prayed so hard because I needed a sign, and when I looked up a flash of warm sunlight hit a small tree in the Church and a leaf fell...It was in my mind a "tear"...god feeling my pain. I took the leaf and held it tightly in my hand, later that day a stranger bought me a bookbag (mine was stolen earlier). I broke down and cried, I knew the lord was with me.

I am alone now in terms of a significant other, but I have tons of love from my friends and family...so many people have entered my life, that I would have never met if it were not for such a hardship event that occured in my life, yourself included. Have faith, god has a plan for you....he has a plan for all of us...just wait and see the miracles that are ahead for you. I know this because of the quality of person you are, good things happen to good people.

have faith-

I believe everything happens for a reason.
I think life is a learning process.

And people who commet suicide has to come back and
learn the lesson all over again.

I believe that God gives you the choice to get up off of your butt and fight for yourself...to fight for what you want.

I also belive that it is my fate to make it to the World's Strongest Man contest someday.
