What Destiny Is

                We often hear people say word “destiny”,  it is also called fate, wether it is a bad or good fate. We also often hear people saying “If it is God that destined me to be bankrupt, what can I do then?” also  “It’s been my destiny to be poor as now, I will never be able to be rich”. Some people relate destiny with their religious understanding, it is probably correct, but not for the whole.

                The meaning of destiny itself in dictionaries is “something happen to somebody in the future, especially out of their control”. I think of doubtfulness about this definition, why?, because actually the real meaning of destiny is something happen to everything in the future, but it is not out of our control. We have full authority of it and God will decide wether we can pass the destiny or not.

                As an example, let’s take a look in a case that there was a family who lived in a very bad poverty and lack of food in the past but, by working and thinking hard and smart this family members  can change the destiny that had been addressed to them. They are now living in a proper life, without lack of food and some of the family members can be categorized as rich people. Last but not least, this family is a family that serve their God well, they did pray and try in a balance degree, so they didn’t rely only on one side of their life.

                As the second example, there was a student of a senior high school, he was a quite smart student in almost all subject, but there was a subject he didn’t understand at all ( he had a little knowledge about it, it is math. Days , weeks , months, and years passed by, but he still could not master it even just a little bit, in fact that he would face national examination at that time, the time left only a few weeks, neverthless, math was one of subject that wold also be examined. Was he destined to not graduate because of his bad score in math? , no, exactly one month before national examination, he pray and try balancely, he praid to be given well understanding of math and also other subjects, and he tried to run after his lackness in math, by studying in  group, taking short courses etc. what was the result then?. The boy finally graduated from high school with satisfaction scores, especially in math, he got the highest score among all of his other subject scores.

                Here, we can conlude that people’s destiny is not decided by The God, but they have to make a road for their destiny first, and let God decide the best.
