Is Destiny Written…

There’s a feeling that’s hard to explain…

Like you’re moving forward in life but you’re not fully sure where you’re going.

You wake up.

You try.

You plan.

But deep down… you know something isn’t certain.

It feels like a constant run toward a future that never clearly shows itself.

And maybe that’s what makes it heavy.

Because as human beings, we want clarity.

We want to know if we’re on the right path.

We want to know if things will work out.

We want to know if where we are is where we’re supposed to be.

But life doesn’t answer those questions directly.

Instead…

It gives you movement.

And that’s where the real question begins:

Is our destiny already written… or are we writing it as we go?

Some people believe everything is already decided. That your life is a script. That what is meant for you will find you no matter what.

There’s comfort in that belief.

It removes pressure. It allows you to breathe and say, “What’s meant for me will not miss me.”

But if we’re honest, that belief can also make people passive.

Waiting. Delaying. Avoiding responsibility.

On the other side, there’s another belief that nothing is written. That everything depends on you. Your decisions. Your discipline. Your mindset.

This one feels powerful… but also heavy.

Because now there’s no one to blame. No script to follow. No safety net.

Just you and your choices.

So which one is true?

Maybe life is not asking you to choose one.

Maybe the truth sits somewhere in between.

Maybe the beginning was never your choice.

Where you were born.

What you experienced.

What shaped you.

But what you become?

That part is still open.

It’s like life gives you a direction… but not a destination.

And that’s why it feels like a never-ending run.

Because you’re not chasing something fixed, you’re moving through something unfolding.

And yes… sometimes it feels like things don’t line up the way they should.

Like the life you imagined and the life you’re living don’t match.

So you start to adjust.

To tweak things.

To reshape your expectations.

Not because you’ve given up, but because you’re learning.

Learning that life is not about perfection.

It’s about alignment.

You begin to realize that not everything needs to look perfect. Not everything needs to make sense immediately.

Sometimes it just needs to make sense to you.

And then there’s that feeling…

That the fence feels higher than your reach.

We all face that moment.

Where the life we want feels just out of reach.

You see the vision.

You feel the desire.

But something in front of you says, “Not yet.”

And in that moment, many people shrink.

They settle.

They convince themselves that maybe this is enough.

That’s where the word mediocre starts to creep in.

But let’s be clear, mediocre is not about where you are.

It’s about how you respond.

Mediocre is knowing you can grow but choosing comfort.

It’s feeling a calling but ignoring it.

It’s wanting more but refusing to move.

But building slowly? Trying again? Adjusting your path?

That’s not mediocre.

That’s evolution.

You’re not behind.

You’re not off track.

You’re in the process.

And the process doesn’t always look clean.

It looks uncertain.

It feels heavy.

It stretches you.

But that doesn’t mean your life is already decided.

And it doesn’t mean you’re lost either.

It means you’re living in the only place where life actually happens:

The unknown.

So instead of asking if everything is already written…

Ask yourself a better question:

Who am I becoming through what I’m facing?

Because that’s the part you control.

Not the full picture.

Not every outcome.

But your response.

Your mindset.

Your next move.

Maybe that’s the real balance.

To live like your choices matter, while accepting that you won’t control everything.

To move with intention, without needing full certainty.

To build your life, without waiting for perfect conditions.

Because the truth is, clarity doesn’t come before movement.

It comes because of it.

Final Words

You may never fully know where you’re going.

And maybe that’s not the point.

Maybe life is not about reaching a fixed destination…

But about learning how to walk with purpose even when the road isn’t clear.

So don’t freeze because you don’t have all the answers.

Don’t stop because the future feels uncertain.

Move anyway.

Grow anyway.

Choose anyway.

Because whether destiny is written or not…

Your next step will always belong to you.

Stay sharp. Stay real.
