Fate vs Destiny

It is believed by many that before we are born we make definitive choices as to what we wish to learn and the aim we want to fulfil during the course of our life. It is a decision , which is rarely remembered after our birth but in hindsight we often see that events and circumstances have led us unknowingly towards the chosen destination.So our destiny could be classified as our own motivational force. It is the spiritual will of the person, a deep inner need , something that drives us to what seems impossible.It nurtures us with hope in our darkest moments enabling us to dream of better things and resides in a place wher we are bound to find our fulfilment.
Destiny is what we are here on earth to achieve.It is that which guides us and our need on a quest . The quest to make a mark on something which is a brainchild of ours. If we all went about fulfilling our destiny then the need for a concept called fate would have been lost. Most of us have peoblems identifying our destiny and if at all we manage to do that, more often than not we would be completely lost on how to initialise the process. It is at that moment that the fate comes to play a significant part in our lives as most of us have little memory of what we have committed to do. We are entangled in the material world and often lose sight of our own unique potential.So based on my foe's opinion, Fate could be categorised as our Personal Guardian.
It calls us to attention and knocks us back on to the right path if we stray away from the destined purpose. It is a friendly nudge in the right direction. Though many would regard Fate to be unkind and whimsical in approach, it is both generous and as well as extremely midful of the needs of our soul. Most of the times it hurts. Again, it is only through hardship that we often realise our inner potentials and scale new heights with respect to self realisation.
We often pose a lot of questions on our destiny and are impatient to listen to the answers for they dont happen to spring up in a flash. It happens at the right moment. This could be synonymous to the attempt of feeding a new born wih Panneer Tikka( Kindly Excuse!!, that happens to be my favorite). The knowledge or the taste of good things can only be appreciated at appropriate age with appropriate common sense. Answers could be heard by getting to know more of ourselves and chasing our target with utmost commitment and dedication. Listening to your intuition could help us in this regard.

Destiny is something that we chose to be. Fate happens to us ,seemingly takes away our choices but eventually would lead us back to the choice of Desiny that we chose even before we were born.
