Choice vs Destiny
If you believe it is a world of choice, you regard your life as a product of your own decisions. If you believe in destiny, you suspect there are greater forces defining your life’s story. Even if we are each part of some great master plan, our unique journey has more personal meaning when we choose it for ourselves. You make many choices every day. Whenever possible, choose the life you want.
Here's a diversity of movie quotes about whether our lives are constructed through our choices or revealed over time.
“It’s huge to finally embrace the life you never planned on.”
“Let life come to you.”
“I’m not making any plans. I’m just going to let the universe surprise me.”
“All the choices we make in our life are pointless. There’s no escaping the inevitable.”
“There is no coincidence, only Lady Fate, and she plays with a hidden hand.”
“Your life is like a river. If you’re aiming for a goal that isn't your destiny, you will always be swimming against the current. Young Gandhi wants to be a stock car racer? Not gonna happen. Little Anne Frank wants to be a high school teacher? Tough Anne. That's not your destiny. But you will go on to move the hearts and minds of millions. Find out what your destiny is and the river will carry you. Sometimes events in life give an individual clues as to where their destiny lies."
“Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.”
“Whatever you do is what shall be.”
“You are fully capable of deciding your own destiny. The question you face is, ‘Which path will you choose?’. This is something only you can decide.”
“Sometimes you find your destiny on the road you took to avoid it.”
