destiny. the power of fate. how one perceive it changes the way one live life.

meant for you? or carved by you?

a person who believes destiny is meant for one, believes that this is the way the path of life is for him. he ponders: "everything i do, anything surrounding me, all is meant for me". he is bestowed his life, and live life the way he should, without worries. for he believe that he is meant to live this way.

a person who believes he carves his destiny, he does just that. he ponders: "if destiny is in my hands, then i will make it what i want it to be". he makes full use of life, and live life the way he wants to, planning each step ahead. for he believes that he will not be tied down by a destined life.

to me, the first lives a free-and-easy life, while the latter who believes he is not tied down by destiny, is in fact binding himself down with plans. but i can perceive it as the latter being more down-to-earth as he knows very well what he wants to see and have in life. it depends much on the way one perceive things, thinkings, idealogies, myths, religions.

it is just what your heart wants to hear and feel...
