I tried an experiment one time. I forcibly prevented myself from doing what I really knew needed doing at all cost, but chose instead to hide in the closet to see if the world would somehow adjust to my tardy behavior.
To my surprise, though I should not have been surprised at all, the world somehow adjusted my whereabouts without my input and I ended up arriving where I was otherwise suppose to be and got there when I was originally suppose to be there.
What I learned from this exercise is that we cannot 'not' do exactly what had been seemingly 'pre-written' in some kind of script of life for each of us, which immediately told me that whatever happens was also part of the script.
This means, if we were suppose to not succeed, will will not succeed. If we are suppose to witness a certain outcome that we desire, it will happen.
The bottom line is, we don't control our fate, nor can we speedup or slowdown the natural process of it.

@swirlie Hm but entering this practice long enough, might be a way to exiting what you call fate.
Repetition through decades can indeed be a game changer.
Also, gathering all of our available resources in a single moment, can too affect those webs of life.
It is natural, we are all connected in story. Exiting the orbit takes a great amount of energy, but it is possible 🌸

No such thing exists. It's purely a matter of belief and optimism.

@CrazyMusicLover Years ago I heard something like -
Do not be upset for what you want but do not have. Be thankful for what you do not want and do not have.
When I start thinking about things I do not have, I just remind myself, "Well at least I do not have to put up with this or that."

@HoeBag Yeah but I meant that we can't ever be sure that something terrible won't happen this or that day. I think we're just optimistic enough to believe that things will go smoothly or if something happens it would maximally spoil our mood or cause minor troubles. We don't expect any lifechanging disaster because no such thing has ever happened to us before or maybe happened a long time ago. Most people think that those things happen to other people not them and when they do happen they are very surprised.

@CrazyMusicLover Anything can happen of course. Minor setbacks to life-changing crisis.
I kind of believe though that the better someone has it, the more likely it is to fall apart. Seen that happen.
At this point in life, not sure how my peers feel though, I just try to make it through with as few burdens as possible.
Some people have these great paying jobs that they are afraid to lose cause how would they maintain and support their huge house, their three kids, the four monstrous dogs running around the house, keep up with the Jones's and the chaos, etc.
I have none of that and it is peaceful.
