I Believe everything happens for a reason, We make our own judgements & decision,s may it be right or wrong & we live by them.. I,ve made some good & bad as probobly we all have ..That,s just the way it is i Guess ..

I believe things happen the way things go....just continuing with the flow off time and probably some other dimension like karma...I think it's a lil' silly to believe in faith or destiny, though I do believe in some sort of reincarnation which is a manifestation off a will to reach a goal or destiny...also, every action seems to have a reaction...i gues thats life

first off i would say that everything is indeed happening for a reason,nothing is meaningless, even the most tiny changes can provoke powerful consequences!But then it comes to us to finally understant and interprete that reason to its fullest meaning,to fully understant why something happened or didnt.In my life,that realy helps me out to get through some rough moments of my life,it gives me hope,something to move on let alone the strength i need to overcome such situations.Someone might say that "what this 16-year-old boy could have possiblygone through

?the only problem that he may have faced is why this girl or the other rejected him"but i am telling you with no doubt that thats is far from the reality.

As to wether i believe in destiny,the answer is yes, i do believe that we are ment to do some things,we are ment to get through certain situations that in the end make us what we are today.Although i do believe in destiny that doent mean that i think that sitting and doing absolutely nothing and just reling on a 'higher' power is the right thing to do!

I think it´s hard to say if things happen for a reason.It´s just my opinion that if something bad happens,and first it looks like a disadvantage,it changes you in a way.And that change leads you to another way,you before never thought you would go.So you get new opportunities you can use.

Ugh, not sure if destiny exists. But I think people have many destinies, if they do one thing, they're going to have one destiny, if they do some other thing, they're going to have another destiny. Hard to explain.

This thing we call destiny is a product of our actions and decisions- past, present, and/or future, may it be big or small, consciously made or not.

In short, we create our own destiny.

Imagine a life wherein we don't have to reach for anything, because 'we are destined' to have it anyway. That would be a meaningless and purposeless existence, wouldn't it?

I believe we are in control of our own destiny. We make our choices in this world and have to live with the results. If we were not in control of our own destiny what would be the point of even trying. I think people sometimes do not want to held accountable for thier actions and just say it is out of my control. All the choices we make will not be right. But that is how we learn and grow.

Good question to propose.

Because it sets connections to religions and personal beliefs.

Do we really have a destiny, or we shape our life with our bare hands?

Hard question to make, easy answer to do.

Firstly, life is set with several things even when we r not born.
NO! - some may say.

yes.
before u r born, ur life is already set by ur parents education, social status, jobs, relation(s)... by their own lifes.
Wether we like it or not, our lifes r crossed with our ancestors.

More: when u r born, the table is set. u r prompted with enoumerous life routes, dat may range between sucess or suicide.

U choose.
and a bunch of people in ur name (family, parents, government, tv, teachers, friends....)

Yet u have a pre-directed route to go - a destiny maybe? - that is more shaped to u. because every person is different, personality and spirituality conducts to it.
or not.
U choose.
the table is set again (by ur direct and indirect influence).

U choose over again.
the table sets again.

and this ad nauseam, untill u die.

Conclusion:
Destiny or U?

Both.
NO!

Yes.
Interaction between these two makes our life's heart beat over and over again.
sometimes destiny/faith wins, sometimes We win.

It all depends.
Depends on u.and ur destiny.
