What about them?
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
A destiny is like the path you were meant to take, and it's something that always happens if you make the right choices along the way. Your will is just something you want.
Sounds like the same thing to me.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
Your destiny is out of your control, but your will is your own.
I say they’re one and the same, if we’ve already established that you can circumvent and change destiny.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
In that case, you just go after whatever your new destiny is, if you still have one.
And we’ve reached the point where we’re talking about will, instead of destiny.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
I don't know about that... I've never seen it happen. If it does, the odds are probably against you.
That’s the problem with believing in destiny so hard. One failure deals a blow to your confidence and then it’s all just a consequence of the Ouroboros of self-fulfilling prophecy from there.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
It's all downhill from there. Once you start to fight destiny, you're buried by it.
Not even. You fight one destiny off while still putting in effort to improve yourself and you’ll end up with a better one.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
It might not be a very good one though.
Then you can circumvent that one too.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
I don't know, I feel like missing your destiny can leave you in a dead end somewhere. Knowing the direction you're supposed to go can save you from a wrong turn.
Or just a different destiny.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
If that was your destiny, there could easily be something greater for you to find if you live it out.
Sure. But is it worth rushing? Is it worth obsessing over? Do you miss anything along the way by making choices to accelerate or guarantee the event happens? Does anything change based on when it comes to pass, or how it happens? Living it out is one thing. Letting the knowledge influence your life prior is another.

Pewhat Falls? I've never heard of that.
Random natural wonder I used as an example. Not an important thing.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
Well, I’ll make you something, anything in particular?
Give me anything meat and potatoes and I’ll be loyal to you for life.
