Or do you believe any outcome in our lives is our responsibility or choice?

As an older man, I now can see that I didn't have that many significant choices. But the few I made, were life changing, and permanent. The only real choices I have now, are to either accept, or deny my past. If I accept it, then I can forgive myself, God, and everyone else. That is necessary for my peace of mind. If I deny that my life could have turned out any differently, then I live in frustration, and despair.
The child is the parent of the man. We are, what we asked for when we were children, whether we like it or not.

Lets start with choice, it can not be that, because if you choose to be a carpenter because it will give you a meaningful life, however the pay does not keep pace with the times and you are forced to get a job that will. Well I guess the person choose to pay his bills and clothed his children. However he abounded meaningfulness, because he has no control of how he will pay his bills tomorrow
Faith, would be God did not choose you to be a carpenter
Destiny, is where ever you land is where you should be
So I believe in non of these, because I am not Free to do as I please with out repercussions

THIS is what I have learned:
1. Chance happen's to all men(male and female), at time's.
2. The Spiritual Invisible "Reap what you Sow" law's are in effect on the EARTH, and has been ever since it was Created(EARTH).
3. GOD helps whoever HE can when HE is allowed to do it.
4. Satan kills, steals and destroys whoever let's him, and when there not looking either. Unprovoked attack's(no reason to attack).
TAKE YOUR PICK----only the CREATOR can explain exactly why some event happened to you on this EARTH. Sometime's, it's better if we don't know. SECRET NO. 11----REVEALED!!!!!
Ditto!!!!!!!

I believe everyone makes their own choices, and your life goes in whichever direction your choices have determined them to go. That said, I believe that God has the ultimate control.

Half is free choice, half is destiny/fate.

I believe we can alter certain details of what happens but fate will bring people or situations in our path regardless of what we do.

50% destiny counts while 50% ur own efforts cuz if we will depend on destinty totally then trial and error base mechanisms and efforts and hardworkings will be finished and if we would depend copletely on our own work then there would be no hope....once u fall u would resign and would not standup
