Changing Destiny

that day mdm aisha was like asking us if we could actually change out destiny. like if humans have the power to change what is happening to them. ie. if they live in an earthquake zone, can they change their fate of damage everytime an earthquake hits, or droughts for that matter.

can we really change?

let's look at the world now, there are so many things humans are not happy about and are going about to change.....from anime, it's always about changing your destiny into something you want. but reality intrudes and the fact is that changing destiny is like going around in circles....how people who are born in horrible parts in the city end up being like their parents. yet there are also success stories of how these people who are unwilling to resign to their fate and stood up against their destiny.

so the question remains, can we really change our desitiny?i believe we can, if we want our destiny to be changed hard enough.

to me, destiny is like a fixed path. with fixed number and type of obstacles that you have to overcome, so that path never changes. but how you would want to walk that path is different. you can always meet an obstacle, face it and get around it, but another obstacle will always come. to have courage is to be willing to step into that obstacle and make progress. to "resign to fate" is to keep stalling there, walking back and forth but never ahead of yourself.

everyone is destined for greater things. like all roads lead to Rome....all the glory and majesty and you're made to have. but life is not easy, although the road is short, but it is littered with booby-traps, quicksands and much difficulty. so, no matter where you start or what route of destiny you take, the end will always be the same for everyone. everyone can be who they want to be....if only you trust yourself that yuo have the capabilities to do so.

things like high IQ, being in a good school, getting in a top class helps you to get there faster....but emotionally, you must also be ready to face the DEStination, your DEStiny....if you get there too soon, you may completely miss the signs of your destiny...if you get there too late, you may not have the strength to meet your destiny. so when your heart tells you that the time is now - the time is now for you to meet yout destiny, you must follow it...you cannot let anything get in yuor way.....you have to cross whatever quicksand or booby-trap and use abit of a common sense to reach the end.

i heard my destiny calling me....although i may not be the most intelligent person, and although i may not be the most dilligent around. but i know my destiny is tailored for me...i only have to hear it properly and not give up. to tell the truth, i don't know what i'm doing or how i'll react when i get there....but i know my heart will guide me through......

i don't have the money to go overseas to study....but something tells me there is a way out of that....because my only other worry besides getting good grades is this. and i know many times i almost got the perfect grade if it is not for other commitments. right now my only commitment is myself and my parents and my studies.....logically speaking, i should be able to do it....so why am i not doing it well?

maybe because i know inside i haven't trully faced my problems.....maybe it's true, somethings don't change....i've been too arrogant to face my weaknesses.
