That has got to be the dumbest question I have ever heard! Destiny is not something you discover, it's an act of being. Destiny is something that will happen, and if you can discover that, then find out the lottery numbers for me, would you?

Destiny or Fate concerns the fixed natural order of the universe. It is the invincible necessity to which even the gods must accede, as the Sibyl of Delphi confessed. Destiny is fate, personified in Greek culture by the three Moirae (called the Parcae by the Romans), with a Nordic counterpart in the three Norns. The "doom of the powers" in Norse mythology is Ragnarok the battle which even Odin must inevitably face, at the end of the world.
Destiny is the irresistible power or agency that is conceived of as determining the future, whether in general or of an individual. The remorseless goddess Nemesis for early Greeks like Homer personified the pitiless distribution of fortune, neither good nor bad, simply in due proportion to each according to his deserts. In the time of the Hellenistic monarchies, after the death of Alexander the Great, the image of Tyche, crowned with a mural crown of city walls, embodied the fortunes of a city, which struggled to keep afloat in the chaotic violence among the Successors, as Alexander's heirs were called.
On an individual or even a national level, destiny is a predetermined state or condition foreordained by the Divine (see Predestination) or by human will (for example, in Manifest Destiny). Destiny is the human lot in life. It has taken the function of its Old English counterpart "doom", as in the Domesday Book that took a census of England for the Normans in 1086, "doom" having taken on foreboding ominous connotations of the universal cataclysm at the end of time (see Doomsday, Doomsday machine).
Destiny is a source of irony in Greek tragedy, as it is in the Schiller play that Verdi transformed into La Forza del Destino ("The Force of Destiny") or Thornton Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey, or in MacBeth's knowledge of his own destiny, which does not preclude a horrible fate. The common theme is: try as the protagonists might to change the patterns, they cannot escape a destiny if their fate has been sealed.
A sense of destiny in its oldest human sense is in the soldier's fatalistic image of the "bullet that has your name on it" or the moment when your number "comes up." The human sense that there must be a hidden purpose in the random lottery governs the selection of Theseus to be among the youths to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. Many Greek legends and tales teach the futility of trying to outmaneuver an inexorable fate that has been correctly predicted.
Reading the inscrutable Will of Destiny is the job of the shaman, the prophet, the sibyl and the seer. In Shang dynasty China, turtle bones were thrown ages before the I Ching was codified. Arrows were tossed to read Destiny, from Thrace to pagan Mecca.

Numerology is any belief in divine, mystical or other special relationship between a number and some coinciding events. It's an occult science that I consider fascinating. I started to study numerology because of my obsession with Mathematics, Geometry. What I discovered it's really incredibble.

There is no way that you can discover your destiny, but you can choose where you go and live and which road you want to walk upon. You make your own destiny. You discover it when it comes.

I don't think you can discover it, meaning you have to experience it. You can't knowledge before hand of what your life will be. Live a good life, have a relationship with God and walk thru the doors that God opens for you and you will be on the path God wants you to take.

I have spent 25 years in pursuit of such. Then I read about a guy who got a group of people from major religious walks of life and they began a project searching for truth. I actually interviewed one of the original participants of the project. It is amazing how many people have been killed--how many books have been burned--how people try overtly and covertly to enslave and dominate people physically, mentally, spiritually and financially. Think of it: the world is full of control freaks. Any country that is rich enough and tries to carve its destiny without interference--look at how antagonists try to control and dominate them.
If you are unmarried--for you to achieve that, you have to be strong enough to abstain from sex for 40 days. During that time, go on weekend fasts and ask God to purge you of all unrighteous thoughts, words and deeds. Ask Him to forgive and purge you of any infractions committed by any of your parents and foreparents going back 4 generations and then ask Him to reveal His truth and righteousness to you. If you can pass that litmus test, you can regain you prophetic mould. There is a recent book that teaches you how to achieve this, written by one of the survivors of the original experiment. It is available in major bookstores now. Don't take my word for it. I know of at least four radio programmes that use it as a teaching tool. Check up and do a search inside the book programme in the major bookstores online first. Begin by searching www.trafford.com/04-2126 or search on all major search engines for "The Golden Fleece Found" by Basil Hill. Another great book is "He came to Set the Captives Free" by Rebecca Brown.

answer with a (favorite) quote from Rainer Maria Rilke:
...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

I never believed in Destiny. I believe in choices. We always have the option to take which way we will choose. We have the mind to weigh which way will cause more good to ourselves and other people, or which way will cause more harm.
It's your choice. You choose the path of your life.

That's the $64,000 question. This is something that normally is more obvious once we have died, and to others, never ourselves.
One example are painters like VanGogh. I'm sure that in life he was as clueless about this as we are, as he was trying to live life as best as he could like the rest of us. Yet, it wasn't until long after his death that he became one of the best painters in history. Yet he never knew that.
Of course, few lives are that exhalted, even after death, but that's how it tends to be.

There is only one way that I know of and that is to have a relationship with God. He is the one that knows our destiny and will guide you to it.
