You could also be "fated" to begin achieving the things you want tomorrow. The universe being deterministic doesn't mean that you personally know your own future. Our predictions for ourselves are likely to be wrong in many ways. We can't know until we try.
It's a balance to both accept reality as it is while also striving to achieve things that we didn't know for sure were possible (or that we hadn't even conceived of yet!).
It seems that we must carefully straddle the boundary between the known and the unknown. Of course, this will look different for everyone.
- whamlastxmas 8y agoI focus on gaining meaning and happiness in life from things other than achievement. The things I do mean less to me than the experiences and relationships I have in life. I don't need a $100 million yacht and a Wikipedia page to love the people around me and feel loved in return. I think what I have is a lot more valuable.
- dwaltrip 8y agoThat is awesome. Nothing wrong with that at all. I was mainly responding to the fatalist side of your comment.
