Destiny: Is Our Life Experience Ordained or Coincidental?

Some believe that everything in life is orchestrated by God, while
others think it all began with the Big Bang. But, whether by divine
design or cosmic chance, every element on Earth seems perfectly
placed. From the way roots draw water and nutrients to help a tree
bear fruit, to the way rivers meet the sea, or how birds and bees soar
freely—nature is a masterpiece of harmony. It teaches us that
everything works together seamlessly, as if crafted by a master
builder. The stars and planets align, yet we often ignore how fragile
life is, knowing we can depart in a moment’s notice.

What else can we do?

We tend to believe that our problems are the most difficult, without
seeing the grand scheme of the universe. Life wouldn’t be as
interesting without the obstacles we constantly face. Sometimes, we
submit to our problems, but there is more than just submission. What
if I told you that you could overcome them? The fact that you face
these challenges is evidence that you also hold the solutions. Imagine
if the first humans had given up on creating fire—today, we wouldn’t
have the luxury of holding a lighter, the power of fire, right in our
hands.

Overcome or Overstay?

Whether life is ordained or coincidental, we can all agree that we
face obstacles, and often we wonder, “Why me?” We stress over problems
without realizing that these very challenges are part of the person we
are destined to become. The moment you desire to evolve—to no longer
be the person you are today but to step into your best self (your “God
self”)—is the moment when everything, both good and bad, will come
your way.

The real question is: Will you overcome these obstacles, or will you
overstay in your struggles? Your destiny is to evolve into your higher
self, and this transformation applies to any area of life you choose
to pursue. Your desires are not mere coincidences. While the process
of reaching them may seem random at times, know that everything is
part of a divine order. You can either rise and meet your destiny or
remain stagnant, waiting for the courage to take the next step.

Destiny Calls

You can face your destiny with a smile or run from it in disgrace, but
either way, you cannot escape what you are destined to be. You have
enough time to fulfill all that you’ve set out to do. Consider the
story of two friends on their deathbeds: one content with all they’ve
accomplished in life, and the other filled with regret for what they
didn’t do when they had the chance. No matter how much you run from
your calling, you will eventually have to face it.

You already possess everything you need to overcome life’s challenges.
You have all the tools required to walk the path to your best self. Be
strong, stay faithful, and take the actions that will lead to positive
reactions. Consistency is key. Today, you get to decide: Which of the
two friends you will be when your time comes?
