Is our life predestined or we build it? DESTINY
People often debate whether life is predestined or built by our actions. What we call destiny is often what we unconsciously create. Unconsciously means, as you’re reading this article right now, there is physical activity going on within this system. There is mental process, there is emotional activity and of course the life energies are active. Every moment they are taking in hundreds of inputs whether you’re conscious or unconscious.
Understanding Destiny and the Power of Human Will
If a human being doesn’t take it, upon himself or herself to make their own destiny, they are still having an evolutionary problem. They are still not yet fully ready because being human means, that we can conduct our life consciously. Being human means, that we can craft our life the way we want. To make that real, learn how to shift your mindset and win with deliberate identity work and daily habits.
Is it all hard work? Is it all destiny? What is it? Now, in my humble opinion, destiny is the situation that comes to you, which are beyond your control.
For example you didn’t choose your parents. You were destined; that was destiny: you were born. You never thought he will be my father, she will be my mother and I will incarnate. Have you ever thought like that? Never.
Did you ever choose your looks? Obviously, no one. So situations are destiny. You didn’t choose them, they came to you.
But your response to those situations is your choice. Respone is not destiny. What you chose, is your choice and when you choose it, that decides your future destiny. This is why the people say that Man is the maker of his Destiny, not situations. Situations will remain what they are but how you respond to those situations, is completely and entirely your choice. If a situation is fixed, use stoic strategies for what you can’t control to redirect effort to your actions and attitude.
Building Your Own Destiny Through Effort and Attitude
So now, for example you want to achieve something in your life, now you have a choice to work hard, to cultivate that attitude.
That attitude isn’t destiny, that attitude is a choice. And when you choose that attitude, hopefully victory will come to you right away. Even if it doesn’t come to you right away, you have sown the seed. That will pay back. The seed that is sown will certainly fructify now, ten years down the line, twenty years down the line or later. This is why persistence, sticking it out is so much essential.
But this destiny business is a good insurance to handle your failure. Whenever you fail, you say that it’s destiny or God’s will. So, this has been going on for a long time. This is not the fundamental nature of our culture. In our culture, we are taught from the ancient times that our life is our karma. This means, your life is your making. No interstellar influence you, it’s only you.
What is thrown at us is not in our hands, what comes in our way is not in our hands but what we make out of it is one-hundred percent in our hands. For a rigorous overview of destiny vs. choice debates, see the Stanford Encyclopedia: Free Will. So, what come at you, you cannot decide but what you make out of it is your thing.
