Does it contradict the idea of destiny?

"Life is what you make it"
gives us realization that our fate depends on each of us.


The statement has been influencing people who would like to be successful in accordance to personal preferences. It encourages us all to do something for success as laziness or doing nothing has no place in the world of progress and development. Indeed, this is acceptable and practically true. Our future is our own making.

But can this be contradictory to the idea of destiny?

Knowingly, destiny presents an idea that there is something intended for each one to be in the future - pointing out an essence of purpose of existence. Thus, everything that happens is divinely a step by step process that would be proceeding to an intended life in the future. Whatever circumstances of living are contributory in reaching such destiny. Good experiences present an awarding situation and bad experiences present good lessons in life - a training ground for a destined future.

How about combining the two ideas. Is it possible?

Destiny sets by divinity is known to be for the good of each one. Thus, it is just like a reward in life for doing each of our purpose considering the discovered talents and abilities. But going to the path of doing bad can be an expression of freewill rejecting the intended good destiny. However, as long as a person who is living in badness still has the chance to change for the better and later go back to good living, the circumstances that happened becomes a preparatory ground for the destiny set in life.

What do you think?
