I just got back from watching a movie with some friends. The movie is called “The Lucky One” and it’s about this soldier who has done three tours of duty.
Many of his friends did not make it and he talks about destiny. He is searching for answers as to why they died and yet he lived. He said that it was his destiny and that we all have choices.
Destiny – the very word sounds sad and almost out of our control. I agree with him that we do have a destiny, a purpose for still being alive. But even more important than destiny (a predetermined course of events) is the fact that we all have choices.
Someone or something will happen in your life that changes your path and that is destiny. But after destiny, comes the choices you have to make because you are on a new path that is unknown to you.
The choices you make will move you towards a destiny of your choice and not just a future that you have no control over. Destiny will have a hand in your life, but you do also.
What do you think about destiny?
