Do you believe in fate/destiny?
They say, “Man proposes, God disposes.” But if man never proposes, what exactly is God supposed to dispose of?
Fate is like a GPS—guiding us toward our destination. But if we don’t start the engine and drive, we’re just sitting in a parked car, waiting for a miracle. Imagine someone hoping to win a marathon while binge-watching TV and eating chips. Fate might have planned victory for them, but they also need to wear running shoes and actually run!
Hard work and destiny have a funny relationship—one pulls, the other pushes. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, things don’t work out. That’s fate reminding us, “I have a better plan, just wait.” And sometimes, fate gives us an opportunity, but we ignore it because we’re too busy scrolling through our phones.
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” So, while destiny may hold the blueprint, we are the laborers who must build the house.
That said, don’t take life too seriously. Even fate has a sense of humor. It lets you wake up early for an important meeting—only for your WiFi to stop working at the perfect moment!
Thought to ponder: If everything is written in destiny, then is procrastination also fate’s way of telling us to take a break? Or is that just our excuse?
Sharon's Read And Reflect 
Life is a beach—literally and metaphorically. We walk around, see a mess, and immediately activate our favourite human skill: overthinking. “Too many problems! Too many starfish! Might as well do nothing.” Meanwhile, one guy just shrugs, picks up a starfish, and yeets it into the ocean like he’s got a personal contract with marine life.
This is where philosophy steps in, sipping its tea. “Ah,” it says, “perhaps life isn’t about solving everything. Perhaps it’s about doing something, even when everything feels too big.” The universe doesn’t demand we fix the whole beach; it just watches to see if we’ll bother picking up even one starfish. Because in the end, it’s not about how many we save. It’s about proving to ourselves that we still care enough to try.
