Its been few days now that for some reason I want to write something on Destiny. I am been figuring out how should I start on this topic. I am going for a picnic with my friends in next 30 mins and thought let me not think on what I have to write on Destiny and just pen down whatever comes to my mind. May be what I am writing is not something I planned but its Destiny ;)
As we go through life, we all experience pain, hurts, adversity, wounds - sometimes self-inflicted, sometimes inflicted by others. The wounds that we suffer may be physical, emotional, spiritual, or financial. They may be small wounds that we can easily recover from or so devastating to us that it takes weeks, months or even years to fully recover. People respond in different ways to these wounds. Some people are so hurt and broken that they give up, surrendering to bitterness, self-pity and victim-hood, while others grow stronger and become better people because of the adversity and struggle they've fought their way through.
When I was a kid my mom used to always say that 'God' already has foreseen what is going to happen in your life. Some people might that think that's encouraging and that we're all part of a pattern. I don't know about that. If I die tomorrow by getting hit by a truck while crossing the road talking on phone while returning from my office, I don't want to know that my death was already written down and maybe guided in some way.'God' is waiting for you to cross that road, and for the driver was avoiding the obstacle but swirled to hit me. That my family and dear friends lifes and even the driver's life will be destroyed and ruined forever.
I'd rather die from my own stupidity for not looking at both the ways of the road and talking on the phone while crossing the road. Somehow, I don't like the idea about destiny. I prefer to think that our life depends on us and the decisions that we make in our present would lead into the destiny for our future.
We make choices every day. When we don't like the consequences of those choices, we're faced with another choice - that of changing direction, making a new choice and enjoying different consequences or staying stuck where we are. "Change is a door that can only be opened from the inside". "The willingness to change can be inspired by others but change itself is a personal choice. If you want to change something in you then its your own choice and no one else is responsible or depended for it. It is 'Choice' not 'Chance' that determines your destiny."
I'll end the post with the lines I had read somewhere which I would never forget - "Control your own destiny or someone else will, remember destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice".
