For your karma, do good things. Or bad things, if you want negative karma.

For your destiny, you're screwed. You will need to fulfill these lessons before you can continue on your journey.

To change your karma, you must develop your mind so that it is free of attachments, clinging and aversions to thing you think bring you pleasure or you don't like, and so that you can meet the resulting effects of past bad karmic deeds with patience and the awareness of WHY they're coming to fruition. ALSO you MUST generate an altruistic mind and learn to subdue the incorrect behaviors/thinking that generates MORE bad karma, AT THE SAME TIME thereabouts.

Two websites that you can find out more about Buddhist ideas/philosophy on karma, how to change the karma you're not liking right now and how to generate good karma. Many more branch off of those 2 where you're interested.

The first step, is by embracing everything that comes your way.
To do this, it takes practice to lift yourself beyond the struggle and resistance to those things.

In time, you will create an inner wisdom, that sets you in your center as things unfold in your life, and you will be more able to deal with them in the right or best way.

This path is a long path, but it does affect your destiny or karma.
Practices like meditation or getting involved in religions like Buddhism can help, but in the end, it is about you and you developing your mind.

In the end, you're only aligning yourself to life in the highest way. The moment when you stop reacting from dualistic approaches (good things and bad things), you will align in full agreement with life.
This is what they call, the flow of life, and bathing in it's light.
It's about surrendering. it's about action.

Coming from a Buddhist perspective karma is able to be changed. Here is a quote from Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the later day of the law.
"If you wish to free yourself from the sufferings of birth and death you have endured since time without beginning and to attain without fail unsurpassed enlightenment in this lifetime, you must perceive that mystic truth that is originally inherent in all living beings. This truth is myoho-renge-kyo. Chanting myoho-renge-kyo will therefore enable you to grasp the mystic truth innate in all life." (Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, pg 3)

So by chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo you can free yourself from any karma and forge your own destiny.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

There is no such thing as destiny because each human being has the gift of free will given to us when we were created b God.
