Default Do you believe in fate?
I thought it would be a nice topic for Valentines day. I was wondering how many you believe in fate, cosmic or otherwise and if so why ? If you do how does it affect your life and the choices you make?

I personally do not believe in fate because without a belief in a higher power I can't imagine what else would coordinate such an effort.

Here is an entertaining link with info for those with faith in fate:

I believe in the higher power...so I believe to some extent God's got his hands on everything that happens in my life. Call it fate...call it His will...whatever floats your boat.

Dawny tell us how it floats your boat. Did you meet your husband by chance or was that fate?

We worked together. I think it was a combo of fate and chance.

When he came into the picture, I was just getting out of a relationship.

I was really drawn to him and we had so little in common. It works though! We've been married for 5 years and have two children together! Still happy!

I rather like the idea of believing in fate. It's mysterious and keeps you thinking. I would not bet on it nor buy or sell anything according to 'supposed' fate but I think it is quite a romantic notion. I enjoy talking about it.

When I met my current husband Rick I had an overwhelming feeling of 'fate' the night I met him and also several times for a year afterward but before we started dating.

You will all think I am psycho but one night at work (I was the weather observer at the airport and he was an air traffic controller) I was listening to music and reading the lyrics in the booklet when I heard these words very loudly and clearly in my head, "HE"S COMING!" I spun around, looked behind me and there off in the distance as I was sitting in the tower at 2am I could see his truck coming toward the airport. I had no idea he was coming. He was coming to see me. We weren't dating at the time either. I was so shook up I didn't tell him that story for months afterwards. I like to think of that occurence as 'Fate".

Wow, thats fifty some more years.
Too bad all the other things are pay.

I believe in fate, only it very slighty manipulates things. Some things will happen that can help you achieve what you set out to learn in this life, but something completly different can still happen.

My wife and I both have an eerie feeling we knew each other in a previous life. I'm not sure that i even believe in reincarnation, but there's something there. Something brought us together.... again. Fate? Don't know.

We just had a thread about fate that didn't go anywhere. My answer: I don't believe in a fate we can't change, but I do believe in a destiny that we work out on our own.
