Fate is complicated but i dont think its changable. evrything happens for a reason and you trying to prevent something is meant to happen. THere are to roads preventing things and letting them go. IF there is a god he knows what u r gunna do and as much as you think changing the future will halp u its not possible. its complicated but if understood what i said it makes tons of sense

depends on what you think fate is.
Most consider it to be something that happens to us no matter what choices we make in life. It is something way beyond our control, it just happens.
I am not sure how much I believe in it. I think they are more universal coincidences. Which is like fate.
I have made some huge changes in my life that I never forsaw. But the end of my life knew about these changes. It was going to happen this way because time is only an earthly way to measure and organize our days and nights.
The way I see it is that time is a big circle. Our fate is known already. There is no beginning no end once we die.
What happens to us happens because of our choices..good or bad. There are a billion different roads we can take in a day which would all lead to another outcome in our lives and death. Thus....... no one can cheat fate...because that in itself is fate that they cheat it. It is already done. We are who we are.And when you reach the spiritual realm we will understand the mysteries of life and death and the universe
I believe the creator aka God, sees the entirety of our lives in a huge circle. He sees when we enter time and sees when we leave this earth. He sees the full circle because it has already happened. Meanwhile we live our lives, not really being pulled around by the nose, but we are accountable for our choices and reactions and actions. We do have freedom of choice. If something seems like fate.......it is just in our own personal reference. To the spiritual world it is just the full circle of our lives.
I know there is a spiritual world. I died briefly. The last thing I heard the doctor say, "blood pressure 30/zero Then I was in the glorious white light with absolutly no human fear, no pain, no insecurities, no needs and it felt like it was ok to die.
Obviously I lived and I continue my circle of life until the end meets the beginning/

Fate happens to the extent that you do not use your will to control your circumstances. You use your will to control your circumstances by using it to directly control your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. The more you use your FREE will to do those, the less you are bound by the alternative, FATE.
The free will vs determinism dilemma dissolves in this manner.
By the way, whether control over your own circumstances entails changing your fate, depends on whether we would say that your fate exists regardless of your control over your circumstances. If this is the case, then it means that the extent to which you willfuly control your circumstances is the extent to which fate does not control them although your fate does not change in content. It's the same fate, but it just isn't what actually happens. That's if we say that fate exists independently of our actual willful control over circumstances. Again, it would mean that the direction of the fate does not change, but it also does not actually come about.
But that sounds really werid. Something does not ring intuitively about it. Besides, the very idea that fate does not change while your actual control over circumstances does change, is problematic.
However, if on the other hand we say that fate is not a certain thing anyway, and that we are actually changing our fate increasingly as we get greater control over our thoughts, feelings, and actions, it sounds a lot more plausible. In the least, we are changing fate's control.
If we agree that fate will always be calculated from current circumstances, then yes we do change our fate. The formula again is to use will power to control your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
And if you do, make sure your thoughts, feelings, and actions correpond with what you actually like and want, because they tend to lead to more of their own kind.
Last note, FATE just refers to cause and effect. It is a matter of "given these current cstates of affairs, then the next moment will be such and so, and the next moment such and so, and so on. But if you step in with your will to control your thoughts, your feeling, or your action, toward something you actually do want, and you hit the so called ENGAGE MAKE IT SO button, then you impose a change into the causal chain.
That's how to write your own life story, in the book of life itself.

It's not possible to change your "fate." Fate is unchangeable...that's what makes it your fate. You're destined to do it. It's possible to change your life, but if you believe in fate, everthing you do is dictated by your fate. So you could be going in one direction, and then go another way just to try and outsmart fate, but fate was already one step ahead of you, because, once again, it's fate.

Fate is a word that humans have to say they are not in control of their lives, so they aren't responsible for what happens. Since I am in charge of my actions, I believe it is possible to change fate.

Your fate is what happens to you if you take no responsibilty. However if you take charge of your life, become responsible you will no longer use the word fate as you will then see one's live is the result of the choices we make. And choices can be changed at will as many times as we want.

Human beings, as well as animals and inanimate events have the ability to break the chains of strict causality postulated by Determinism. We are thus free to influence our affairs and our destiny.
In changing our future from what it would have been without the interaction triggered by our free will, we are changing the very universe of which we are an integral part. With the intervention of free will, our future, and thus the future of the universe, will follow a path different from the path it would have pursued without our intervention.

I think fate is a fixed set of circumstances thrown into a fluid life. How we choose to respond to those circumstances is the free will part of our existence.

Hmmm... depends on your definition of Fate, really...
My belief is that there may be a script, but there's always room for ad-libbing...
and that life is not a dress rehearsal...
