Destiny

“We determine our destiny by the actions we take today.” -Catherine Pulsifer

Since the start of humanity, there has always been a debate about how much control do we have in our lives over our future? Many have said that fate and destiny cannot be changed no matter what we do. For example, you could be the safest driver on the road. But a drunk driver or someone running a red traffic light could still hurt you. Of course, that begs the question that if everything is pre-written for us, what exactly is our role? I think it’s our actions before and reactions after. There are things that are out of our control. Perhaps you’ve underestimated how difficult a college exam is. But you can still go the extra mile and study harder regardless of how easy or hard you think it’ll be so you’re prepared either way. We cannot control the universe. But the lens size of the telescope we view it through is completely our choice.
