basically...we create our own destiny. every thought we have determines what will happen next. and if we doubt ourselves we get the short end of the stick. for example....if you are running late...and you get grumbly...and negative it never fails that you wont be able to find your keys..........

Yes, I create my own destiny (if that's what you are asking).

To a great extent we create our own destiny as individuals and as the human race just through our thoughts and actions. But, Natural disasters like volcanos and tsunamis and universal disasters like Supernovas or the sun burning out in 6 billion years control our destiny because we can neither prevent them nor create them.

Actually, yes I do.
I neither believe in destiny(the mysterious kind) nor fate. I can't wrap my mind around my life not being within my own control. To me, it is absolutely absurd, and useless, to live a life that is "pre-destined"...or up to the whims of "fate".
I won't even try to say that being self-fulfilled is easy...or has brought me peace, harmony, whatever. It's by far one of the hardest things, to rule your own emotions, and thoughts, to be positive. I fail, miserably and often. But, I prefer it this way. I have only myself to blame when something goes wrong, and much joy to share with others when its going right.

Self fullfilled prophecy is basically right when there's lots of people do say it. then something changes, but if you are alone, you can't change things easily. It's like economy is good, but there's people starts to say it's going bad, then more people starts to believe it and to say and react to it, then it MIGHT really happen but if you do it alone, that's hard.
