SO... What is Destiny?  or Fate?

--what Webster thinks...
FATE:  <feyt> noun 

the universal principle or ultimate agency by which the order of things is presumably prescribed; the decreed cause of events; time: Fate decreed that they would never meet again 

DESTINY:  <des-te-ne> noun 

a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency

-- what wiki think...

Although the words are used interchangeably in many cases, fate and destiny can be distinguished.

Traditional usage defines fate as a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. Fate defines events as ordered or "inevitable" and unavoidable. Classical and European mythology features three goddesses dispensing fate, known as Moirai in Greek mythology, as Parcae in Roman mythology, and as Norns in Norse mythology. They determine the events of the world through the mystic spinning of threads that represent individual human fates.

Destiny is used with regard to the finality of events as they have worked themselves out; and that same sense of Destination, projected into the future to become the flow of events as they will work themselves out.

In other words, fate relates to events of the future and present of an individual and in cases in literature unalterable, whereas destiny relates to the probable future. Fate implies no choice, but with destiny the entity is participating in achieving an outcome that is directly related to itself. Participation happens willfully.

Fate, Chance, God's Will - we all try to account for our lives somehow. What are the chances that two raindrops, flung from the heavens, will merge on a windowpane? Gotta be Fate. ~Robert Brault

There is an unseen life that dreams us. It knows our true direction and destiny. We can trust ourselves more than we realize and we need have no fear of change. ~John O'Donohue

“I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.”

Douglas Adams quotes

There is a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will.
William Shakespeare

The destiny of man is in his own soul.
Herodotus
