Why We Can't Change Our Destiny
Wikipedia defines destiny as "a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe." If destiny is predetermined, it can't be altered or tampered with. While we may not be totally helpless in the face of destiny, our paths are already paved for us even before we're born. However, we do chose our friends, our homes, our hobbies, and our jobs so we do have a say over our own lives.
Everything does happen for a specific reason, and God always knows what he's doing. While we do have some say in our lives, we don't have a say over things like biological family, cancer or other diseases, or natural disasters that could happen to our home or place of employment. God has the ultimate say in our lives, and he won't let us change our destinies.
Our destinies lie in Gods hands, or whatever higher power you believe in. God has already made our destinies for us, and he has equipped us to follow those destinies. Bad things happen to everyone, but it is all a part of God's plan. As the saying goes, what does not kill you only makes you stronger. Even if bad things happen to you, it does not mean that you have a horrible or worthless destiny. Everything that happens is a part of Gods design and God also has many better days planned for everyone as well. When it comes to our destinies, we just have to take it one thing at a time.

Post a CommentWhen put to the test, this idea makes no sense. If everything is predetermined, why bother getting up in the morning?
I get very confused about this. The law of attraction says you can get anything u put your mind and heart to as long as u believe in it. There have been numerous examples even of people curing themselves of cancer through changing their negativity and expanding thier vision. Even certain astrologers say that u cannot chage your birth chart but you can change your reality through a different choice. I know it happens. I know it happens but what i dont know is the extent to which it does.
