What is DESTINY?

What is DESTINY? 
Why do we have so much faith in it? 
What leads us to believe that something is already planned with our lives and we only are a motive to keep things going that way? 
Why do people lose hope when something bad happens in their life and blame their destiny for that misery? 

Well, the answer is simple. We are afraid. We are afraid of everything. We are afraid of new adventures. We are afraid of changes. We are afraid of taking new steps. We are afraid of losing what we have. We are afraid of losing people. And in order to overcome that fear, we believe in anything that gives us hope that nothing will go wrong and even if something bad happens it will not be your fault, it will be destiny. And that's when we lose control of our own lives and start depending on unseen things to lead us. 

Why can't we try to think of taking our own path and follow what we think is right? Why aren't we sure about our own thought and actions? People need to know that whatever happens in life is a result of your own actions or someone else's. It is not because there is a force that is bringing all the changes in your life. If you lose something, then you didn't work towards keeping it. If you are not able to achieve something, then you didn't work hard enough or someone else was better than you. So you just need to see that there is a reason behind everything and its not the destiny that plays its role. 

You make your own destiny.........
