Destiny
Is there such a thing as Destiny?
If destiny waves Her wand to inscribe my way, what have I to worry about? Should I close my eyes and dream of the goodness that I always depict in my mind? Should I wait for Her to chart my future life? Or should I wait for my moves to fetch the life I want?
If destiny provides me my preordained future, I worry about what kind of future it will bring me. Would it be a future filled with strong willed emotions, a future that would inspire other people or a future that would send tears or anonymity in my life?
If destiny wills me to become a better person for myself and for others, would people believe my sentiments that I had so long tried to inform? Yet, I ask myself, do I believe in this Destiny that everyone talks about? Right now, I am in doubt. I have asked myself in the midst of my solitude questions like “Is there such a thing as Destiny?” or rather “Are there many types of Destinies that life has hidden from view?” Are there such things as love destinies, career destinies, destinies that bring sadness or destinies that bring joy to one’s life? Love destinies that bring forth that special person, career destinies that seat one on the cushions of success, or destinies that allow both dire and blissful moments to arise?
In life, people share their ups and downs. What I mean is, does Destiny, if it really exists, pen down one’s true value of life? If Destiny does not exist, does it mean that one holds on to the rope and makes his own decisions in life? Or does Destiny and one’s own choices belong together? Do they work together to create the map to one’s future? I certainly have numerous questions on this Destiny. Should I believe in it? However, there is this other part of me that believes that I myself have my mind and heart to follow rather than holding on to such a thing as Destiny. If Destiny truly exists, do people turn to it more than believing in themselves?
I have always put in mind that I should believe in myself and my potentials. Destiny is something questionable. It’s like a mystery. Many say “Oh, we were destined to be together” or “I am destined for this job”. I do not think one can be fated for a job. In my opinion, one makes his decisions for something.
But then, are one’s choices his Destiny, too? If persons were meant for each other, does that mean it was Destiny that worked it out? Or is it just the common personalities that clashed? Destiny?
Destiny. It is a word that incorporates many things. Destiny, if it truly exists, may be dubious. Destiny is She who sets whatever is before one. Who is this Destiny that they say exists? Is it something or someone who will put my feet on the ground? Or is Destiny myself for I make my future?
