I'm confused on how to live my life. To me there are 2 different ways to. One is to go out there get what you want, do what you want, and enjoy everything. It's almost like if you want something, go and get it. You dont believe in fate, and you choose to create your own pathway through life. The other is to take life as it comes. You believe int fate and believe that things happen for a reason. Not meaning God, but some divine force out of your power. Like things will happen if you let them happen and you are patient. Almost sitting back and waiting for what you want to happen. It's not meant to live care-free but to believe that everything will be alright if you let them go. How do we live our life? Please explain, i'm very philosophical about this and would like all my questions answered.

Think of this in terms of liking a girl and don't know what your next step should be

ok it depends on how bad you want a certain thing in your life to happen. Sometimes it's fine, even great to just let things happen as they will, and say "it wasn't meant to be" if something doesn't happen. But then there are those things you really do have to work your *** off for if you want them. Say you wanted to model. That is not just going to happen sitting around waiting for someone to say "hey you look good, want to be a model?" So basically you have to weigh your wants and desires. I personally sit around waiting for life to take its course and i am very happy.

Wouldn't we all like all of our questions answered.
There is no god, no fate, no destiny. You can choose to go out there and find life or sit home and let it happen to you. In either case you will be dead in 50-60 years and that will be that. So do what you want. There will be no rewards, punishments, regrets, or memories when you are dead.

You mean we can be active or reactive. It's kind of like a "nature or nurture" question. It's always both. What interests me is how to be active and reactive at the same time: The seek communion with the divine, participate in a greater plan.

We've been thrown out of the spiritual world,where everything is perfect,in the company of God and His friends,due to need of personal independance and eny of His perfection.In this material world,life after life,we've been looking every second,for new ways of being happy,by doing things or meet new people,but it always turn out to be unsatisfactory in the end.
Those who claim to have peace and happiness in this world are just deluding themselves,through false religions and beliefs,and are spiritually blind.They may be famous,rich and seem to be perfectly happy,but deep inside,something is not going well!Eventually,we all have to face a final disease or accident and death!
Due to your desires in your mind to enjoy this illusory material world,you will still search for happiness every day,and if you don't meet the right guide,you'll be lost in your search,or will get reactions from every action you do,and they may be frightening.
As most people are being misguided by false teachers of religions,only interested in money and fame.Most countries are being led by dirty politicians,only interested in money and fame.
So,as we can't sit back and wait for things to happen,we should learn how to go through this life,without displeasing God,and try the best to please Him.
Just by eating the wrong stuff,we can displease God,who loves all living entities,by killing animals for food.
Introducing intoxicating substances also in our body,which is a temple,is also not good for spiirtual life.
Accumulating money with greed is also bad :we shouldn't work like asses just to increase
bank balance.
Sex life is also to be regulated as it is contrary to spiritual life:saintly persons prefer to stay alone or have sex just for procreation...
Atheists are very busy promoting their stupid program,and listening to them is also infectious to godly life.
Hope this will help!

Live your life kindly and quietly, and wear life like a colourful gown, not a straightjacket.
Life is huge and to be enjoyed, just keep planting the seeds and you will later reap the harvest.

Make yourself the best you can be and do your best in all you do. You will be content in yourself then.
