Do we have an inescapable fate? Are things just meant to be? Destiny refers to things that will necessarily happen to us in the future. Out of our control is implied.
Although it is outside of the intended meaning of the work I wonder if we can create our own destiny through action. The concept is based on acting in a strategic and visionary way such that your pre-determined fate is actually morphed.
Pragmatic Approach
It is important to deal with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations. If something is inevitable however you behave won’t change that.
However, sometimes we can be too pragmatic in our approach. Stretching into the area of theoretically possible things and believing in them means we do have a chance to overcome our destiny.
It may be easier to believe in the pre-ordained, that is there is nothing I can do to make a change so why try?
Taking Action Works
The history of humanity seems to demonstrate an inevitable destiny is not reality. Events throughout history have clearly changed the course.
While we cannot yet travel back in time and change the actions and behavior to see if the results would actually change we can logically and intuitively visualize this to be the case.
The outcome of world war two is a simple and straightforward example of this re-imaging. Numerous treatise has been written about what-if scenarios and outcomes if different political and warfare actions were undertaken.
Destiny is within our grasp, we just have to be clear what we seek and plan the best approach to achieving our goals.
