Fate. Fate is considered the development of events beyond someone's control. But what if we could control fate? What if we could control our own destiny? Could it be that our life would change forever.

Some say that fate is inevitable. That fate is simply fate. That fate doesn't care about your plans, but what if fate was controlled by us? Sure, the definition of fate says that it's uncontrollable, but what if each decision you make and each word you speak is what really determines your fate.

We live day by day getting up, usually doing the same routine over and over again, not even considering what could come our way. We see the world as an opportunity to live our life however we want to live. We go so fast that we forget to slow down and look at the good things in life.

Remember that saying, everything happens for a reason? Things do happen, but is there really a reason behind it or is that just an excuse we use to deal with the situation. We take the word fate and use it like it's just what is supposed to happen. But imagine if it really wasn't supposed to happen. What if things just happen, but it wasn't supposed to be fate.

The problem lies that we can't make other peoples decisions. We can't stop mother nature or the course of life, but we can make our own decisions and chose what path we take. We can control where we end up if we try hard enough and don't let fate stand in the way. We use fate and life and destiny as excuses for what happens to us. But what if it wasn't really supposed to happen? Along the way we made the wrong decision or somebody else intervened with the situation.

There's a saying that reads, you can't fight fate. But I disagree, I think you can fight fate because while others might stand in your way, you have the power to control where you end up. Life has uncontrollable events and sometimes they can run into your path. But instead of making excuses by saying, that's life or it's just fate running its course, why don't we do something about it! Sure, we can't control others or mother nature or even the course of life, but we can control ourselves. And the very core of fate lies in our own decisions.

You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
