Destiny means the materialization of man's own thought. Man is responsible for his success and failure, for his rise and fall; and it is man who brings these about either knowingly or unknowingly.
Very often fatalists think we are in the hands of destiny, driven in whatever direction life destiny wills; but in point of fact we are the masters of our destiny, especially from the moment we begin to realize this fact.
What is meant by destiny is changed by man, but that destiny also changes man's plans.
The more we study life the more we understand that it is not only qualifications, enthusiasm, and energy that count, but also the design, the plan already made. And according to that plan man has to go through his destiny. No doubt one should not use this to support some fatalists who think that they can just sit back comfortably and wait for better times to come. They may just as well wait for the rest of their life and not accomplish anything.
