There's no difference actually. And personally, I do not believe them. Both are the manifestations of our thinking and in accordance with our actions.

So don't you believe that one day you'll die as you have born in this world? I believe that it's your destiny that you can't change...that is fixed and controlled by a untraceable power or energy, which is undefinable but so true. But in our life we do lots of mistakes and as a result our life changes, the way we lead our life depends on how well we take decisions and steps in our present that build up the path to our future. If we do good then we get good, but if we good wrong we get unfavorable result. This is our fate that we can control and change over time. So simply destiny is something that we can't control but we have to believe of their existence and fate is something that can be changed and control by ourselves.

Fate is the outcome of sin and destiny is the gift of God.....

I see fate as something that comes your way and lands you in an unexpected place. it is not of your choice. Destiny is something you search for. It is the road you want to travel to achieve all of your dreams.

I think fate is basically whatever happens to you happens and that's it. Now destiny is when your life was already planned out and no matter what, you fall into the position you where born to be in. In a way I think destiny makes some kind of sense and structure.
