we all know sh*t happens, I mean they even made it a bumper sticker

but ultimately do you feel you control your own destiny?

No. To many things we can't control. The only thing we can control is our response to what happens to us.

We can try to shape our own futures. But at any point where what we want is influenced by any one else (job interviews and such) we no longer have any control. We can only do the best we can.

Ultimately, I don not think we shape our own destinies. We can only shape what life throws at us by what we chose to do with it.

I try to, but sometimes even David Hasselhoff can't save that swimmer drowning off the beach. :laughing:

You can only control your reaction to things that happen in your life; not your entire destiny.

If so....I really got screwed up somewhere...

Naw, seriously, We can only make our choices, which can determine our destiny...be it good, or bad..That "fork" in the road, that most of us have had at one time or another..I have gone right, when I should've gone to the left, to the left...lol..laugh

Yes, sh^t does happen, but we do make our own destiny.

You can choose to let your life go with the flow or you can get up, get out and do what needs to be done to make the changes you want happen.

play the cards your dealt....

I am in control of how I choose to play the cards, but I am not in control of the deck.frustrated

just do the best you can with what you got, and know that an ace will have to come up sometime!shades

We may think we do though I'm not fully convinced. Life is strange like that. Sure, we make many decisions that affect our lives but who's to say we weren't already predestined to make them.

I've been known to get a bit out of touch with reality occasionally but, who really wants to think inside the box all the time anyway?

I have actually developed a theory on this.

Life is made of part destiny and part choice.

Destiny brings you to a fork in the road, you choose which way, then destiny takes over again depending on your choice.

A vicious cycle
