My Fate, My Destiny……

As we move through life, the force of fate creates events that we only appreciate when we reflect on our existence. ~ Ronald Harmon

Fate is the force, principle, or power that decides events, as well as the inevitable happenings predestined by this force. Fate is a pivotal and indispensable tool that functions in our life. Fate is all what is beforehand chosen for us. There are many questions peppering our mind. Are we dependant on fate? Can we achieve whatever we want even if it’s not in our fate?? Can an underprivileged man modify his fate and develop into a thriving person? Does all hard work really work or go in vain as it is not in our fate? Is fate that much crucial?

Undeniably no one will deny the fact that our fate is written and determined by Almighty Allah. We get all those possessions which are in our fortune. Looking at your palms, have you ever pondered upon the mysteries of the criss cross lines? Are not they meaningful? Are not they determining your fate? If hard work does matter than why don’t these lines keep changing every day depending upon the struggle that we do daily and why we wonder when someone who does not deserve win out of thin air. Isn’t it because of the inevitable luck, for which we crave for?

There is a saying that: “Hard work can change our fate.” Sometimes it seems just a saying. Why don’t all of the students secure similar marks when assisted by the same mentors, when most of them burn mid night oil and solve the same paper? Why do some people curse their fate outside the examination hall for missing a question or solving it wrongly even when they know the correct way to attempt it? Luck, mere luck!!! Why doesn’t every employee seem contented at the time of increment? Aren’t the bootlicker acknowledged by the management quite often than the conscientious, relentless worker? Our success is actually revolving around our fate. The luckier we are, the more successful we will be. Undeniably, fate has an upper hand than hard work.

There are many people who will say that we should not be disappointed and keep on striving, yet the question arises, are you never disappointed on your defeat? How does it feel when all your efforts end in smoke? Don’t you cry your eyes out and wonder the cause of your failure? Let me divulge this secret, it’s all our fate and there is nothing we can do against it.

Fate matters in each and every aspect of our life. Think of a cricket or foot ball match, are not external factors of a great importance there? All the unremitting session of practice and strategies topple down when the rain pours down, or a wrong decision is taken by the umpire. Think about the time when the championship title is literally dependent upon the last penalty stroke. Is not that the fate that matters at that time?

William Shakespeare quotes:

“What fates impose, that men must needs abide; it boots not to resist both wind and tide”

Fate is utterly inexorable and we can't change our fate. If one tries to resist against the fate, he himself will perish in the course of this action. No matter how hard you try, fate will soon overwhelm you.
