Only you will determine how you behave and what you will become. I am often reminded of a TV show. I'm not sure if it was Oprah or what and it was probably 10 years ago. It was a woman that lived in the Cabrini Green projects in Chicago. This woman had 6 children and she scrubbed floors in the office buildings on her knees. All of her children had jobs like paper routes, babysitting, and helping at home. She insisted that they all study and do well in school and they would walk to the library together on Saturdays for books for the week.
When the oldest son graduated from high school, he had a 4.0 grade point and got a scholarship to college. He became a doctor. He worked through school so he could help his next brother go to college. He also became a doctor. The next was a sister. Son #2 helped her become a lawyer.
When it was all done, this wonderful mother sat on the sofa so proud of all of her 6 children. 4 were medical doctors, 1 a lawyer and 1 was a CEO of a big company. And it was all because she insisted they concentrate on school and an education. She didn't let society and the Cabrini Green projects determine her children's future. Only you can make the choices for yourself.

The word destiny infers an inability to control one's life. The second part of your question is irrelevant. Our genes make us who we are and in some cases how we die.

We make our own choices in life therefor we control our destiny.
