Especially when they're talking about big-picture life stuff. Or when they're rationalising why something didn't (or won't) eventuate.
"Don't worry love... It's not meant to be."
The term destiny seems to have an almost romantic, mystical, out-of-our-control, feel-good kind of vibe about it ... "that was always going to be her destiny" (as the orchestra starts to fire up in the background). So it seems that no matter what 'she' did (thoughts, actions, decisions) her life (or part of it at least) was predetermined by destiny;it was always going to unfold in a certain way. Despite her.
Not because of her. Apparently some unknown, cosmic force was firmly behind the steering wheel of her life. She didn't really have to touch the controls because her life path (destiny) was pre-set on auto-pilot.
Am I the only person who considers this to be a load of self-limiting, mumbo-jumbo crap? Am I missing something obvious? Let me know if you think I am.
One of the most disempowering notions in the world of human performance / achievement / psychology... (in my opinion) is that of destiny. Why? Because it teaches people that life (and what they might do, be and create in that life) is somehow, beyond their control.
Take a look at what popular thinking teaches us about destiny: (Some dictionary definitions)...
De-sti-ny (noun): 1) The predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events. 2) The inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined; one's lot. 3) A predetermined course of events considered as something beyondhumanpower or control.
Give me a bucket. We may as well all sit on the couch and let life happen to us, around us and despite us... because apparently it's all gonna happen anyway. It's pre-determined. It's inevitable.
I'm just a passenger on destiny's back.
I wish someone hadda told me this earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so much time making all those decisions, taking all those chances, overcoming all those obstacles, working so hard and busting my ass to create an amazing life. Apparently I have no control over it anyway.. because my destiny is a "predetermined course of events considered as something beyond human power or control"... I musta missed that memo. So not happy.
On a brighter note...
If destiny is what some people claim it to be... then at least I don't have to take responsibility for how my life ends up.. 'cause I don't really have much influence over it anyway.
Hey... that's kinda convenient actually.
Hmm... you know what?... this notion of destiny is starting to appeal to me. Far less effort. (tick) Less pressure to do stuff. (tick) Way less responsibility and accountability. (tick, tick) Nice. Comfy. (tick, tick, tick)
And all this time I thought that my life was self-determined not pre-determined. What a crazy concept.
I thought what happened in my life... was up to me. That whole.. 'choosing, planning and doing'... thing; a farce!
If only I understood the destiny thing earlier... I would never have started this silly web-site thingy. What was I thinking!!
Okay, it's settled; destiny it is.
Right... I'm off to lie on the couch and watch TV while my destiny unfolds. (so excited... can't wait to see what happens)
