Should We Believe In Fate?

It was not meant to be or everything happens for a reason..We make statements like these all the time. When life or things does not go our way or we cannot make sense of a particular event or outcome, we tend to believe fate is the cause of all these.

I believe in fate, but that doesn't mean we can't control the direction we are going. In other words, we have a choice to choose the good or bad path. Sometimes certain things were just meant to happen or happens for a reason. Whether it be a tragic accident, meeting your soulmate, winning the lottery, losing a job etc. Yes, bad things do happen to some people and we wonder could this be karma? No, don't confuse karma with fate. Sad and unfair but it's just the way their life was meant to be. Sometimes bad things happen to people without warning..we can't control and it's unavoidable it just happens.

Well, i believe in fate but i also believe in free will too. Everyone and anybody is in control of their life. You have a choice to choose which is the good or bad path. You are the only one who can decide whether your life is going to be miserable or a great one. I don't think people should think Oh i'll just do nothing and wait where fate will lead me no that isn't entirely how fate works. For example, you can't just work as a cleaner for the rest of your life and say I'm fated to work here NO, your not even trying, you can control the direction you are going in.

However, you can't control everything that happens. You can control your life but only to a certain extent. I do believe you can control your actions, but you can't control everything.
