Thoughts for Reflection and Discussion Q. What would it take to start using the word destiny in the context of my own life and daily work? How do I grant magnificence to my own journey? How do I see the constraints, responsibilities, and weights on my life as gateways rather than barriers to the life I want for myself? A. By definition, destiny is a predetermined, usually inevitable, or irresistible course of events. In other words, destiny means fate. Destiny is something that is bound to happen, no matter what. To use this word in the context of my own life and daily work is definitely possible, but would be difficult. I think that destiny is an extremely strong word that is not in enough people’s vocabularies. I would say that the most common occasion that I hear this word is in the context of the phrase “you control your own destiny”. In my opinion, as cliché as this sounds, it is very true and highly effective. Yes, destiny is a predetermined series of events, but you can still have a hand in with happens to your destiny. For example, the harder you work at something, the luckier you will get. People allow “barriers” in life to prevent them from achieving goals, instead of moving further down their journey in life. Q. How do I bring into my work the questions about my own destiny that enliven, embolden, and perhaps even scare me a little? What questions do I need to ask secretly and alone and what questions need support and conversation? A. As a student currently in college, I hold a large amount of power in my life, and what is ahead of me. Obviously, I would like to someday have a job that I absolutely love and enjoy. But, this is not always easy. It is right now in my life that I must ask myself questions such as, “how do I want to live my life when I am older?” or “what job will I be willing to put all of my heart and soul into?”. These questions are what I will attempt to base my studies and further learning
