Do we make our own destiny is it pre-written?

It is both. There is some part pre-written- like a plan to achieve a goal. The actual path taken and the special achievements and attainments we make as we go along the general plan is what we make of our destiny.

I believe that we are all responsible for our destinies which is dependent on the choices that we make. If it is pre-written, then I believe that it is us who got to write it so it would still come out that we are still masters of our destinies. I also believe that we are here to learn some lessons that is why not all of us are born the same. I even believe that we also get to choose the person that we associate with because we ought to learn a lesson from that person.

I think that create our own destiny and we have control over what journey that we take in life therefore I do everything I can to make my destiny to fulfill my greatest dreams, and If I am wrong - and everything is pre-written - Well God must of written one heck of a story for me!

This is something that has been a point to discuss about since long times. I think every man makes his own destiny but it is affected a lot by luck or fortune on which, he has no control. I have seen many instances where a person who seems very good at whatever he does, getting down because of circumstances.. And I have also seen people who don't look to be worth anything, but they get a lot of things. But indeed, it is a man whose decisions and deeds decide his future, with luck adding some topping on it!

I believe that God has a plan for our lives and certain things are inevitable. We might delay it a bit or take a convoluted road towards our destiny but in the end it usually happens as it should. Not always..we have choices along the way and we can change a lot of things.

seriously, i do not believe in any religion or god.i only believe in myself.i believe in controlling my destiny. i believe in my own capabilities. i believe in my 2 hands. i believe in my abilities.i believe what i do determines my path.i believe destiny is mine to control and change.i believe.

Good question! (and a hard question, at that!) I think that, because life changes daily and we never really know what to expect, that nothing is predetermined. We think things are going to happen one way, and then one thing changes to re-route our entire life. I'm not sure if that's fate playing a hand, but it makes it seem to me like we kind of have to go with the flow. Know what I mean? I have set many goals, and achieved most of them over time... does that mean that I've controlled my own destiny?? I have absolutely no idea! LOL

UK_Shree, Actually it depends on how determined you are to change your own 'fate'. Either one decide upon calculated wait or you got to initiate a change to an existing chess piece that needs adjustment badly. Most people resigned to themselves without much of a fight and get subjected to all sort of environmental influences that they picked up unconsciously and adopt into their self belief. Eventually, these new assimilated information get entangled into their mindset and they form a distinctive negative outlook and definition towards Love & Relationship. Such negativity actually promotes the notion of 'I-am-like-that-so-I-will-be-like-that' - which, IMHO, does little good to one's attitude, even to his/her life as a whole. A relationship does not mark an end of a journey, but a beginning of a new experience, riding on a continuous growing process that began way back even before the person is attached. One does not learn about Love only when he/she is attached - rather, a relationship spring forth a series of test that seeks to assess your understanding of self love and individual evolution. If such training doesn't exist during your single-hood, then the price you pay for learning certain cosmic lessons will double during BGR and cost will triple (or more) if you are married. One must recover and simultaneously seek to liberate this psychological bondage one has cramped oneself into. Adopt what's beneficial and remove those that only work to hinder ones advancement. Only then can we see results in every aspects of our life. “Fate is for those too weak to determine their own destiny.”
