It’s quite typical for someone to say that “It was your destiny…” to do something. It appears that some people believe that destiny is a concrete concept that automatically is existent when we’re born. I for one do not exactly believe so.
I think that destiny/fate is like a template for our lives. It is a mere guideline for our existence, but we do not necessarily have to follow the guideline. Depending on circumstances, our actions and our decisions, we can alter our destinies. Our fate is the framework for living.
For example: what if I was destined to become a doctor, but I decided I would leave school at sixteen and take drugs, resulting in my early death etc etc. My destiny; that framework would be pointless at that stage, as the decisions made by myself, altered what was apparently destined to occur.
Destiny, is not rigid, it is merely a template.
