“See that fella over there? He's 20 years old. In 10 years, he's got a chance to be a star. Now that fella over there, he's 20 years old, too. In 10 years he's got a chance to be 30.”
They say the difference between the two is ‘Fate’.
If you ask me, I’m kind of confused with this whole ‘Fate’ thing. We are all human beings and each of us have un-imaginable powers within us. In spite of that don’t we get to choose our own destiny, be what we want to be and do what we want to do? Isn’t everything possible? Why do we always restrict ourselves? But there are those that believe that our fate is already decided……and that no matter what we do; we must finally accept the good and the bad that fate brings along…. How can this make any sense…..? How can our future already be written somewhere? Don’t we have the right to choose what we want for our self?
Are we so weak that we need to portray our inabilities as fate?? Can we not be free? Free from this invisible bondage?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Whatever limits us we call fate. Men are never prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.”
“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. A man, when he wishes, is the master of his fate.”
“It (destiny) is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny.”
--- Paulo Coelho
Are we getting too old to dream? Or are we just losing the spark in our lives?
Fate only takes you so far, and then it's up to you to make it happen… Let’s not forget what we are capable of.
‘When I was younger, things happened in my life that made me wonder if they were a coincidence or was it fate? And now, as the years have passed, I strongly believe in fate -Everything happens for a reason. “
--Catherine Pulsifer
Don’t get me wrong, I strongly believe that everything that happens in life, always happens for the best (even if that is sometimes not visible to us till years later). But does this necessarily mean that it is fate and we can’t do anything to change that? Once things happen to us, it’s very easy for us to turn around and say that it is ‘fate’…..and that it’s happened for the best…..but since we haven’t actually seen fate, how do we know that whatever is happening to us is as per this great plan called fate?? How can we be so sure that it is not what we ourselves have done… Maybe whatever we choose to do, we call it fate. When things work out the way we want them to, we say it’s our fate and destiny and when things don’t go as per our plans we just blame it on fate and say, maybe it was never meant to be.
What if there is nothing such as fate? Maybe it was always us doing all the work and giving the credit to fate??
Each man is the architect of his own fate.

I dont understand that a person who has been wearing the same blue shirt in all his exams for last 6 years is writing something like this :-).
That was superstition.....Why play with Lady Luck ??
your fate is modelled and influenced by so many around you... you do not dwell in a solitary universe - Its a cohabitation of multiple souls entwined by choice, reasons and coincidences...
Or can you be so selfish as to ignore others in your ecosystem and shape your fate as you desire.... ???
