๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐? If you do, do you know what it means to be destined? Can your destiny be changed? Kindly take few minutes to read this to understand what your destiny is, and stop taking anything that comes your way as your destiny.
The word "๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐" has different meanings according to different societies, cultures, backgrounds, and religions and almost all cultures believe destiny to be the possession of wealth, money, riches, or properties. But the truth is that destiny is none of this.
So, never say that your inability to be wealthy, successful, earn money, possess riches, or achieve in life is your destiny, or display that those who possess these things are destined to live a better life than you. This is just a misconception. Though all these can complement or help in fulfilling destiny, however, they are not man's Destiny. Money or wealth can be achieved by just anybody who follows principles or is blessed.

The destiny of a man is composite. That is, Destiny has FOUR PARTS and until a man gets these FOUR components right, he could fulfill destiny under the sun.

1. PATH: Your path in life entails TWO THINGS;
(a) ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ข๐ก'๐ง ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ช๐ก ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ฅ:
These are things that you are not given the power or will to change for yourself. They are deliberately chosen for you by the Creator (because He is unquestionable and has His reasons for all things). Things you don't have willpower over include the type of parents or family. No man chooses these for himself.
There is a belief, according to some cultures, that there was a particular time a man would stand before the Creator to choose his supposed parents or the type of family background he wished to have. This particular belief is nothing but a deception.
Believing that there was a particular time you stood or kneeled to choose for yourself before your creator will do you nothing but self-condemnation for not choosing the best thing for yourself and this can lead you to find the wrong solution.
Those that are born into a royal family did not choose for themselves nor did those that are born into a family of beggars but all are orchestrated by the unquestionable God. Though, this is not their "entire" destiny but a "PATH" through which they would follow to a particular destination.
(๐ฏ) ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐/๐ฃ๐ข๐ช๐๐ฅ ๐ง๐ข ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐: These works together with natural gifts or endowments being given to man by the Creator to complement or find a solution to his life in case those things he didn't have the power/will to change (like parent or family background) don't favor his existence. These include the ability to choose wisely a better career or course of study, and finding a means of survival or green pasture.
This WILL/POWER works or gives the best result if one moves closer to God or under a good mentor. For example, you need God to be on your side as well as a good mentor to choose the right career in life especially if your background (what you don't have the will to change) is not favorable
Many were born in a village where nobody knows them but under this willpower, they hustle to work or study in the city and become a renowned person today in the society. They didn't allow their background to put their backs on the ground. They didn't take it as their "whole" destiny. They did not commit su***de but followed the rough PATH to a destination.
๐ฎ. ๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก
After the "๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต," the next component of a man's destiny is the ๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก. A destination is a place where man will be gloried (if he did not give up to pay the required price) One must be very careful at the formal stage, as this later stage (destination) sometimes tends to depend on which "path" (that which you can change) one chose to follow.
3. GLORY
Glory is the third component of a man's destiny. Glory means praise, honor, or distinction extended by common consent. All these are now achieved because you have paid the required price. You now feel comfortable and elevated as your life is changing for the better. People begin to know you, calling you here and there whereas you were once a nobody. You are achieving your dreams and feeling relief from the pain of the past. That is a GLORY!!!
๐ฐ. ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฆ๐: This is the last and delicate part of a man's destiny. Not everyone in life makes it to or recognizes this particular phase of their destiny. This is because most would fumble at the GLORY phase of their lives as they would think they have arrived. and neglect the purpose of their elevation.
Purpose can be defined as the core phase of a man's destiny which is the reason why he is glorified for the fulfillment of his overall existence on earth ๐.
Joseph was born to Jacob. Though, he was so loved by his father but had no power or will of his own over his family. His background was full of hatred and evil. But his ๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก was never his father's land. Joseph's destination where he was to be ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ was Egypt. There, he was known and ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐๐ฌ used by God to save many lives from death that might have resulted from a strong famine.

Esther was a girl single-handedly raised by Mordecai but she had the greatest opportunity of her life to be chosen as a queen (GLORY) in a land (DESTINATION) where she happened to be a stranger. When crises arose against their people in the land because they were strangers, her mentor (Mordecai) quickly reminded her not to forfeit her PURPOSE because destiny can never be fulfilled without a purpose.
Mordecai told Esther in the Bible, "๐๐ด๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ญ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จโ๐ด ๐ฑ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ด๐ค๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ. ๐๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ, ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฑ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ธ๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ. ๐๐ถ๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ง๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณโ๐ด ๐ง๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฆ. ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐, ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐.โ Esther 4:13-17 ERV
The Path, Destination, Glory, and Purpose are all what is known as Destiny of a man. Some died while struggling on the rough path, many before their glory while some were gloried but failed to recognized their purpose of existence.
