Just Thoughts and Nothing Else

Destiny, are we in charge of it?

I think about that word a lot. I think about the fact that if I were in charge of it would I have made better choices in life? Would I have gone after my career, or not eaten that whole pie, or had so many children or married a man that was rich instead of one that stole my heart? So if I was in charge of my destiny, what went wrong? Where did I loose control of it? Why did I make the decisions I made even though they might hurt me? Did I know what would happen if I made those decisions or did I just role the dice and hope?
I think sometimes that if you have short term goals and long term goals maybe you would have a better chance at finding out what really true destiny is, or maybe you wouldn't! Maybe all that happens to us isn't our destiny but a way of life. Maybe destiny isn't the word we want to use either, maybe it's fate. Maybe it's called our life's path. Maybe God gave us choices along the way and we chose not wisely. Maybe we have all of our life mapped out before us from the day we are born and God gives us two choices along the road and because of that damn fork in the road we choose the wrong road.??? Just a thought.
Maybe we don't have a choice at all. Maybe we just are who we are and are a product of our environment and our families, maybe it's a person in our lives that made us think or made us change the outcome of our lives from the path we were following too. Maybe we were going to be different but something or someone came into our lives and made us think about the decision we were about to make and because of it we changed our mind and our destiny also changed. Maybe it's like that movie "Back to the future" We change one thing in our lives and meet one person and our outcome changes completely.
It's just food for thought, but what if..................
So of course it makes me wonder sometimes what do you if a person comes into your life and says, you are my destiny, you are my soul mate, you are the person that has changed my life completely, you are a person like I've never known before. You are someone who has made me feel like I've never lived before until I met you. I was just merely existing. Is this true? Is this what you are to believe? Or is this a line from a love story or something?
Or could it be the other path that we are supposed to follow? Or the fork in the road, or should we keep going on that same steady path we've been on? Maybe our first path was a path of self destruction and it's time we change our path?
Maybe our true destiny isn't a person at all, but a thought, or a path and maybe that path is just that we are destined to be rich and famous or maybe we are destined to be poor and homeless? Just a thought!
I think destiny is something that we can't see, we can't feel, we don't choose ourselves, it's something that chooses us and then again, maybe not!
I don't claim to know the answers nor do I know what's next. I just know that life is an adventure and that life is to be lived and whatever we choose doesn't always have to be the right choice for our destiny to come true, because we have discovered that destiny is really whatever happens because of the path we choose not because it's pre-planned! Nor will we ever know what is our true destiny in life.

Don't skate on thin ice if you think for sure you might fall through, because you just might.

So choose wisely, think often, but never regret what you cannot change because it is not who you are, but rather the choice that you made.
