Actions, choices and the path to destiny

Prosper Mandeya 

DESTINY is what you become because of your actions, while fate is the underlying force that inspires those actions in the first place. You can shape your destiny, but you cannot always control the hand of fate.

Some believe everything happens for a reason.

Destiny guides the willing and pushes the unwilling.

The choices we make, even the mistakes, can lead us to where we are meant to be.

Often, the path we take to avoid our destiny is the very one that leads us to it.

We have many people that come into our lives because of fate, but it is our heart that decides who stays.

Sometimes, a chapter has to be closed so that you are able to realise your actual destiny.

Ultimately, what is meant to be will always find a way.

You will end up where you need to be, with the people you are meant to be with, doing what you are meant to do.

You can think of dreams as your guiding stars; even if you cannot touch them, following them will lead you to your destiny.
