What's in the bag?

I believe that fate is only applicable if that is something that you want and strive for. If you finally reach a goal that you have been chasing for a long time many people say that it was their fate that this goal was achieve, but that is baloney. They reached the goal from steady persistence and dedication that allowed them to get there. Another example people sometimes refer to as being fate is an accident. When a person has a very bad accident and are injured for life some say that it had to be their fate that something like that could happen. I believe that there is no way that an accident can be a fate for someone because the reason they got hurt was because of a bad decision that they made or carelessness. I think that any action that someone does affects the rest of the things that they do no matter how small they are. When you wake up in the morning and hit your head on the door it probably will put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day, triggering other things that by the end of the day makes some people say, "this was the worst day of my life." This shows how any action done by free will has an affect on things to come.
