God's Will or Destiny?

 Do you believe that anything that happens to you is God's Will?. I would like to think so. Many a time we work hard, set goals and try to see it through and then suddenly Booooom... Something else unexpected comes your way. Something that can destabilize the current plans you have or you have been working on. You feel so sad and disappointed and hopeless at that time. You wish it never happened and you almost give up. Would you now say it is God's Will?

Maybe that unexpected thing is something you have been anticipating for a long time and you tried all within your power to see it works out but it doesn't and then you finally move on to something else that you are passionate about and then when you are at the brink of achieving it, what you have been expecting for months and probably years ago suddenly happens. Like an answered prayer. Is it God's Will?

I feel so compelled to find out. Many people may come across this write up and say... No it can't be God's Will. It happened because you did things that led to it and it happened... Some others might say... You get what you wished for as long it is in line with your expectations when the time is right... And so on. So many arguments and thoughts.

Which one are we to take? Which one are we to believe?. Look at it from this perspective... There are people out there who wish to have a certain thing in life and no matter how hard they try, it just doesn't happen. Then someone that may be undeserving of it may just have it without even trying, on a platter of gold.  Is it God's Will?

Destiny comes to mind. Are certain people destined for greatness and certain other people not? Is God's Will and Destiny the same thing? Are certain things supposed to happen to a person at different times in their lives or is it meant to be and must happen whether they want it or not. There is a saying that goes..." Your destiny is in your hands". Simply saying a person can shape their lives the way they want. They can control their lives and determine what happens to them. Is this applicable in all aspects of life? Can God's Will alter destiny?

This life is filled with so many mysteries. The universe is so deep that one cannot understand. 

Tell me what you think.
