Do you believe in fate?
Contrary to what my religion suggests, I intend the majority of the time to not believe in fate. I believe that for every action, there is a reaction. Something which develops now could possibly affect you later on in life. I also believe this may not be in our control sometimes and in many cases we may have no knowledge of it to begin with.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Sikhism, but the majority of religions believe in fate, if not all.

I think you have some control over what happens in your life and others. The only thing that I really know I'm destined to do is die someday...haha that sounds negative, but that's the end result...you can't escape death...you can change what happens during your life though...and now I will end my senseless rambling...

We are all bound in the chains of fate. In my opinion, God sets a path for us, and that path is our fate, we cannot choose to follow it, but instead we are lead.

Yeah, it’s true. We’re going to die someday, and it could even be today!! Heheh, sorry to scare you

The thing I don't like about that, is that in that system, it really sucks to be us. If god made me a sinner, I'm going to hell, and it's his fault for putting me on that path. That's not very nice of our friendly neighborhood deity.
I concur. If that was the case, some folk, well at least me, are destined to become a failure and no matter what lengths are attempted to change this, none of them work because my path is already set up for me. That’s a scary thought, knowing I can’t change the inevitable, no matter what I attempt.

Every day I think about how this could be my last day...which is why I don't plan much for the future...I may not see it...haha (or maybe I'm just lazy...)

I have always thought about fate.
Once on holiday I went to the shop and chose the kinder egg on the left.
Then I got a rubbishy jigsaw in it.
The next time I chose one in the middle and got a rubbishy mouse toy.
I was frustrated so threw it in the swimming pool.
Then I retrieved it.
While I spent my time doing this I was on time for a game of football.
I dried played the game and missed tea.
I was hungry so went to the shop to get food.
Now had I not chosen the kinder egg on the right I would have got a decent thing (which my mates got)
Then I wouldn't have bought another.
Or thrown it into the swimming pool.
Or retrieved it.
Or been in time for a football match.
Or missed tea.
Or gone to the shop to get food.
In that time I could have fallen off a skyscraper
Think about that.

That’s a fantastic excuse, I’m going to use it next when I’m asked what I want to pursue as a career. “Uh, about that, I may ‘kick the bucket’ tomorrow because you never know what’s around the corner. That’s why I haven’t thought about it because then I would’ve wasted time thinking about it if I died tomorrow, valuable time which I could’ve spent thinking on more present things. You wouldn’t want that, would you?”
Hmm, that’s an interesting theory Batman…

I personally don't believe in fate, I choose my own path.

You're right. There is no tomorrow!
