Do we choose are own destiny?

yes! because we make decisions that affect our future and each decision has a different outcome in life.

My motto is that there is a 1% chance for everything and a 99% chance to the opposite of the 1% chance of something.

That is a very tricky question. You see, I believe that in life everyone has a choice to make. For example, you have the choice of getting great grades and going to college. You also have the choice of not going to college and having to work at Wal - Mart. These decisions are Your choice and you have control over which path you want to choose. At the same time, you cant control if a wild fire comes and burns your house down. This is out of your control. You can, however, choose how you will respond to this. Now, would this be our destiny? I honestly dont know. I do know that we do have some control over how we live and how we will live in the future. So, although we may not be able to control Everything, life gives us some control on our destiny.
