General question about your thoughts on your destiny.

General
Are you of the ones who think your destiny is set and you just follow the path enduring what it brings to you in order to reach the end?
Or, are you of the ones who think you create your own destiny, being it the result of your choices during your life?
Oooor... maybe there's a third option you might want to share?
Thanks for your points of view.

because everything is predetermined in a way, I mean, everybody's followed the path that their instincts have told them to follow, and it's called "history" for a reason... because the past is now all just a story
we can change the future, naturally, but we're only going to have a single future -- it's not going to branch off into different realities
so yeah
i guess destiny is set
and boy, is it just me, or do video games butcher the utter hell out of this concept D: Dunno if I've ever played an RPG that didn't mention "fate" at least once
hasta que visites un medium o consultes tu oroscopo o una galleta de la fortuna o nostardamus o los chinos o los mayas y te sugestiones sobre lo que te va a pasar
dame mi galleta!!
no puedes decir "gracias por participar" si no das alguna recompensa

woof!
I believe all of us exert our will upon reality. The will of many people do influence your future, But if your will is stronger, You can control the flow of reality's energy. Even better- If you can make the will of many your own, You can change reality.
But it requires your will. You are, ultimately, responsible for your destiny and the achievements in your life, And you influence the destiny and achievements of every life you reach and touch.
This is my current understanding, subject to the changes of my whim and experience.
The depression made me go blind and forget about this great power.
I feel much better now and encouraged to keep on going on with my plans of life.
Also, you gave me a tip on what I can do with this power.
You're most welcome friend, I am glad I can aid you in some small way.
Direct your energy to today, and the resources you have and can work with right now. Have goals, sure, but don't plan further into the future then what your current resources can take you.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
Thanks for your point of view, Cyan ^^
Your actions can greatly impact your outcomes. But you don't "make your own destiny"; there will always be things that are just out of your control. Even if you just pick one thing that you want and work tirelessly toward it, maybe you'll get it and maybe you won't. Similarly, maybe you'll be the person that just achieves it with no effort whereas other people try and try but just can't get it.
Things just happen. They don't happen in an inherently structured or fair way. Your own decisions and actions are the BIGGEST factor in what happens to you, but there will always be other things, positive or negative, that will nudge you toward one thing or another. It's not destiny, it's just that everyone's experience is ... different.
You can still take control of it and still shape it toward your own goals, but where your life goes will always be an inseparable combination of things that are under your control and things that are not.
I just do whatever I think it's more proper for myself, see where it gets to, act accordingly... But I'm not worried about the future itself, or what's in store for me. I'm more concerned with the present, really :3
And describe extraneously upon the concept of metaphysical definition!
Let's start off with time-traveling.
Two scenarios.
What if one was not meant to tamper with time, as it would cause the chronological flow to be disrupted at an instantaneous pace upon doing so? This is the law of the world! We are not SUPPOSED to do it! Or we would end up killing ourselves, if not render nonexistence upon the face of humanity!
And
What if one was SUPPOSED to tamper with time, and cause the disruption?
Would he be considered as a fixer for altering it so? Or would he be a criminal under the pretense of violating the laws of physics, for being where he is SUPPOSED to be, as per the scenario suggests?
And if humanity does NOT disappear, what then?
People described life as being nothing more than a game, story, a half-eaten pizza or any foregone metaphor you might have come across in your lifetime.
I say, do what you want, and if it happens, it happens. Your own moral guidelines, your own perception, and your own bloody sense of direction. That,
is time-traveling simplified.
Since you posted them I was thinking on something nice or interesting to reply back but I just couldn't, sorry.
