Whenever I have been asked if I believe in destiny, I tend to use this analogy:

We are the captains of our own vessels and steer our own course in life.  We make our choices and our destiny is determined by what these choices are.  We do not, however, have any control over the sea (our situations) or the climate (environment).  To be a good captain, we learn to master our vessel in the worst of conditions.  We learn to face the storms and conquer them and then repair our vessels when we are in calmer waters.  Such is life.
