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.
“You think it is better to have tried and failed than to have failed to try. But what is the difference if you end up in the same place?”
“Our choices are what make us who we are. We always have the choice to do what's right.”
“We can never see past the choices we don't understand.”
“I always believed it was the things you don’t choose that makes you who you are.”
“There's no such thing as destiny. There are only different choices. Some choices are easy, some aren't. Those are the really important ones, the ones that define us as people.”
“Where does power flow from – skill or destiny?"
“You know, life's funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.”
“There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool.”
“I think a man does what he can until his destiny is revealed.”
