Choice in life

Every person on this earth has a fix lifetime. A time between their birth and death. You cannot alter these two parameters. But what you can do is to decide what happens in between. Therefore every person is incredibly gifted and still most of the people are not aware of this gift. Every morning you wake up and there are so many decisions you can take for this day, what you do, in what way you do it and with whom. You do not know yet what is happening during the day, usually you can have an estimation but what will actually happen depends on your actions and destiny.
Destiny is a very complex but interesting theory used by people to explain random. When random has a bigger sense and meaning people can cope better with their life. People hold on to the thought of destiny giving especially the bad things happening a good meaning. If you then start believing in destiny as it gave you hope in bad situations you find reasons for everything in your life. Good and bad things, everything happens for a reason. Life wants to teach you things, make you smarter, more experienced and better. Other than for God, there is no scientific proof that destiny may not exist and so people are philosophizing about this topic for hundred and thousands of years. Whether we have a free will or everything is predetermined.
This topic is closely connected to time. As you cannot never turn back the time, with all the same atoms in the exact same place, you will never know if something would have been different when you chose a single different action. So there will unfortunately never be any proof if everything is really determined by a higher power.
For most of the people it already helps to believe in destiny and that all the major in their life are determined by destiny. Especially in bad situations it gives hope that it will become better soon and life just wanted to teach you a lesson. Destiny is on its way and will reward you with good things in the future. When then these good events come up, the faith in destiny helps you to appreciate it a lot more. That you were chosen to experience such a great time with great feelings can give you an overwhelming and fulfilling feeling of satisfaction. This can make you think better about your life, living a more happy life as you have something to hold on, something to be happy about and have faith in. For the same reason people created religions.
Still - despite all the advantages of destiny and the believe that everything will come its way - you should always be aware of your own freedom of choice. In western countries freedom of choice exists in almost every part of your life and you should use and appreciate it. With your actions you can for example have a huge impact on your death date if destiny does not have other plans for you. That is why so many people start living healthy again since they are aware they have to use their possibilities for the right and so live longer. With the right choices you can improve your quality of life. Be smart, reflect and estimate your actions and most importantly follow your intuition. Be egoistic and chose the actions that make you yourself happy even if that sometimes means to sacrifice.
