The Choice Called Destiny

People tends to blame destiny. I acknowledge that. When we finally falls to poverty, we blame destiny. When someone we love gone, we blame destiny. When we failed on something, we blame destiny. Destiny is all at fault. We never try to see it clearly, that we're not destined to be, not until we destined ourselves.

Does someone being destined to be poor? Does someone being destined to fail? Does someone being destined to be nothing at all in this world? Do I destined to be those way?

If yes, then I don't accept it!

I want to break through al of this crap we call destiny. It's not destiny at all, not a single piece of it. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a choice. It is not a thing we have to wait for. Destiny is to achieve. If human are helpless with their destiny, then there is no point God creates us as an able creature. Then. we are not more than just a doll, living only for dying, with the role that has been decided long ago before our birth.

It's not like that.

I believe that life is a big, long, branched river. The river has a lot of branches, with their own stream, river rocks and shape. There are branches which stream is calm, and there with swift, dangerous stream able to sink anything across it. There are branches with challenges as river rocks. And there are branches which just straight and there are curvaceous type.

Just like life, there times when you live peacefully, and there are times when it become harsh. There are time where challenges are ahead, and there are times when you can't even jusr go straight to what you want. It is your choice that made you your life. Which branches do you pick? Which do you want to go? If you choose to follow your dream, there might challenges ahead of you. But, you choose yourself whether you want to overcome it or not.

But, in the end, the stream will end to the same goal, the sea. I think it is something that God has decided for human being: The Sea, or what we call as Death. This is a destiny that you cannot shape. You cannot cheat death, nor you can runaway from it. That's why while trasversing all of those stream, you must make choices so that when you arrive at the sea, there are no regrets on your life, therefore you can set sail peacefully.

Do not blame destiny, friends. Your choice shape your own destiny. When you failed on something, it is something you have chosen. Maybe you're struggle is not enough, or maybe you're not even trying. You can choose to break through poverty. You can choose everything. And that is your destiny. It is not one static thing, it is something really dynamic that you can even shape it yourself.

Now, achieve your destiny, mate!
