Choices?Destiny?Fate?

I truly believe that nothing that happens to us is random. In other words I think that fates or destiny intervene taking me to places that I should be or met people that I should met. Nothing is left to chance. The question is do we ever have a say in this? Depends on how you interpret this question. I think during our lives we sometimes get faced with making a decision that will have an impact on us. For example you have some plans to go out somewhere with someone, but at the last moment you are invited somewhere else and decide in the end to go there.And what happens? Something that will change you, or meet a person that will influence your life in a good or a bad way.It amazes me how often this can happen. Destiny or fate for one moment is in your hands and you can decide which road to take. The decision seems unimportant at that time but after a while when you really start and think things through you realize if you only said yes or only said no ,nothing that happened would have happened or the other way around. I picture life as a long road which we travel from the start alone just wondering if where we are going it will bring us peace or joy. And we reach crossroads sometimes , that is when the tricky things happen. You could end up with a companion for a long or short time, a good or bad one, or you could even go ahead alone and face challenges that you could or couldn't take head on by yourself. In the end there is no turning back, because after that decision you can never look back. The only thing when things go the wrong way that remains is...the most mysterious question of all time. What if?
