    Does believing in fate help in avoiding unnecessary stress?

    Many people in this world believe in fate or destiny. The reason is very simple. When we work hard but do not get success then we attribute it to our bad luck and that is destiny.

    Some people do not believe in the above doctrine and opine that destiny can be made through hard work and effort.

    Whatever one believes my understanding is that by believing in fate we can avoid a lot of stress and tension in our minds. Whatever happens is happening as per our fates and if something is good then it is our good luck. This way of thinking is a better way to avoid unnecessary stress.
    What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you believe in fate?

    Thinking about destiny and fate one should not leave anything without attempting wholeheartedly. We all know that human efforts are required even though God is willing to give us something. Without our efforts, nothing will come. But as mentioned by the author we should not get stressed expecting a good result. Try your best, give 100% and then leave the result. Whatever result comes accept it as if that is destiny or fate.
    We should be attentive always. We need not get stressed and at the same time, we should not become carefree also. My grandfather used to tell me a story. There was a poor man. He used to go to his neighbouring village to beg. He used to go on the same route every day. Goddess Lakshmi wanted to shower luck on that man. So she decided to pour gold coins on the route daily he walks to his neighbouring village. As usual, the poor man started going to the neighbouring village. All of a sudden this poor man got a wild thought. He thought that he was walking every day on the same route and knew well about that route. So on that day, he wanted to experiment. He wanted to close his eyes and walk in that route and implemented the same successfully. In this process he lost the chance of seeing the gold coins and collecting them. That is fate or destiny.

    While attempting a task, we need to have all the resources with us to achieve success. It is better to make a list essential to get the work done in a given time frame. The last but not the least, adhering to the time frame and concentration are equally important.
    If we follow such parameters in the execution of a job, we are sure to strike our target.
    However, there are certain situations beyond our hands making our jobs tedious in its completion such as booking of wagons loaded with the materials within the specified time but tripping of power is noticeable leading to our failure to despatch the booking in time. In such situations penalty is to be paid to Railways.
    Here the fate comes into the picture and blaming the fate sometimes eases our stresses. It is not bad either to make us relaxed.

    In Indian culture and mythology it is reiterated from time to time that our duty is to work with full efforts and sincerely but should not expect proportionate results from that. It is believed that results are never in our hands. If one believes in this then there is nothing to bother and there will not be any stressful situation in our lives because of failures.
    The fact of life is that results are not in our hands as there are many factors that contribute to it. Same thing is named as fate or destiny.
    Expectations from our work is the main cause of our woes. But it does not mean that we should stop working.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    From reading the responses of the members it follows that main thing is to work sincerely for our goals and do not panic if results are not commensurate.
    Knowledge is power.

    The view of the author is one way correct. An eminent author, psychologist told once that when we get aged, we should recollect the happiest moments in our back life rather than the worry some/ face difficulty etc., to keep our future as good and healthy.

    As told by the diabetic doctors the implications of diabetic/blood pressure etc., are mainly due to stress.

    Similarly the belief on destiny or fate is also keep us to set aside the insults/failures/false criticisms etc., which cause major health set back in us.
    We can see many people got a salary less than others for same work/designation and if they are worrying continuously on this without trying for another job, we may loose our present job due to lack of concentration in the present work. Instead if we just put this on our fate, we can at least hold the present job well and run the life with peace.

    Stress is one thing that is being created by the individual only. Getting stressed or becoming panicky will never help us in completing our work successfully. Whatever work we take up, before we start we should work out a road map. During the execution of the plan, we may face some obstacles. Instead of getting stressed we maintain our cool and try various options to come out of the obstacle and progress further. Then you leave the result to destiny. In my opinion, sincere efforts will always be successful only. Always be on the ground so that we will be near to realities. But leaving everything to fate and sitting will take you no where.
