Exploring the Intersection of Free Will and Destiny

Have you ever wondered whether your future is written in your destiny or if your hard work can alter your path? This question has been a subject of debate for centuries. From the soul's perspective, our lives are seen as a culmination of data from all previous lives, shaping our current existence. However, at the core of our being lies the power of free will, which plays a critical role in the evolution of our personality towards enlightenment.

Fate and Destiny: A Legacy of Past

Fate and destiny are often viewed as predestined events that cannot be changed. According to many spiritual beliefs, our purpose is predetermined by the soul, which holds data from all previous lives. In this sense, fate and destiny seem to exist only in the past, set in stone by factors beyond our control. However, the belief in free will challenges this notion, emphasizing that our actions and decisions are pivotal in shaping our destiny.

Free Will: The Dominating Force

The free will of the personality is the dominant force in personal evolution towards enlightenment. Through conscious decisions and actions, we have the power to create our future, sharing purpose and knowledge with our soul. This is not to say that every choice we make is entirely ours. Our interactions with others and the world around us are interconnected, and our experiences can either be a blessing or a curse. Ultimately, our decisions are made by our own volition, reflecting the choices we consciously make or are led to by circumstances.

The Role of Hard Work and Determination

While destiny may seem predetermined, the outcomes of our lives are not. The Bible speaks of free will, giving every person two choices: blessings or curses. As we proceed through life, the decisions we make and the actions we take will ultimately determine our future. The concept of predeterminism does not exist, but probabilities for outcomes can be determined. Therefore, it is essential to give your best effort, as what will be is not predetermined.

As the aliens in Galaxy Quest famously stated, "Never give up, never surrender!" This applies to our pursuit of personal growth and the realization of our potential. We must embrace the journey of self-improvement and the challenges that come with it, for only through hard work can we create a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Ultimately, our destiny is a result of our choices and actions. With free will, we have the power to shape our lives and reach our full potential. So, let us not fear the unknown but embrace it with determination and a positive mindset.

Ephesians 1:4-11
‘For he chose us in him before the creation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace which he freely bestowed on us in the One he loves; in him we obtained forgiveness by his rich grace. Galatians 5:1
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
