So let me start.

Destiny is a series of  events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future. Destiny is what’s meant to be, what’s written in the stars, your inescapable fate. It is nothing but the luck or fortune. You cannot handle this term because it is already determined.

However, you can always turn your luck by doing good work such as helping a poor or saving someone’s life. Each of your good actions determines your destiny. Destiny is not always powerful A courageous man with hard work can change his destiny.

The saying “you control your own destiny” applies to the everyday life of us all. The way you act will determine the actions of the people around you, who you are as a person, and what you chose to get out of life. Equally important, the decisions you make will affect you in both positive and negative ways. Depending on the overall outcome, your reaction to the decision will be your destiny. Destiny is your life and the process as we know is very repetitive.

 However people use destiny in different senses than permitted by dictionaries. Some maintain that destiny is ultimately what you arrive at in your life. And for those who believe in destiny, fate is the principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to as they are or events to happen as they do. Fate and destiny are therefore related causally; therefore one who believes in destiny has to believe in fate.

‘Life is but a stage on which we play our role’, this metaphor is quoted by believers in destiny, but even this gives some choice if we delve deeper into its meaning. Different actors may act differently not only because of their different abilities to enact the role, but because they interpret the role of the script differently. This is in addition to their ability to enact the role. They interpret the role they are playing differently depending upon their experiences and education. This is equally true in case of conducting symphonies, of say Beethoven; different conductors interpret the same music-score differently.
