I've contemplated that concept many times and I'm so often left wondering just how much free will I have and what part destiny or fate plays in the journey that is 'my life'.
One belief is that this is a free will planet which would imply that I have the ultimate choice in what I do, when I do it and why I do it.
Another belief is that we choose our destiny before we take birth, that we choose the path we are to embark on and if that is the case then how much free will do we really have.
I've come to believe that it's somewhere half way between that.
We do have free will and I exercise it on a daily basis. And yet sometimes when I've been faced with a particular decision, I make a choice and for a minute it seems my life's direction does change and then it's like something happens and I've been brought right back to square one which would imply that I've tried to deviate from my life's purpose and a power greater than me has overruled my choice.
Well it's something I contemplate every now and again when life throws some doozy at me and as usual, I fight it, kicking and screaming and then I just say to myself 'well alright then' 'bring it on' and so life continues to ebb and flow and I am reminded that I'm in an ongoing classroom of life.
