Destiny;

Some things happen because they are destined to happen and if those things did not happen, one would  have not experience the blessings in disguise of the events which took place.

Some things happen because they are destined to happen so as to test one's courage or faith or love and if those things did not happen, one's inner strength would have not been nurtured for the face of other odds and adversities to come.

So if destiny plays such a big part in our lives, does it mean we have no say in our lives? Does it mean we do not make choices for ourselves?

Choices, my dear, will still be made and paths will still be carved.

Very often, we go about living thinking that we make the best choices or the worst choices in our lives. Little did we know and notice how fate and destiny comes hand in hand with our choices. That, my friend, is the beauty of the destiny written for us.

I spend a few good years thinking that my choices were everything I had. It took me another few years to realise how there is so much more to life than the choices I made.
