How to Face Your Fate

One's fate is inevitable. No matter what one does, fate will always come, and exists beyond your control.

Fate doesn't ask you if you are ready to face it. Instead, you have to be ready to face your fate. Should you do so, bearing your fate will be easier.

The ultimate fate of all human beings is to die. However, humans end up in different ways, and the future is not always clear to most...

Therefore, for most whose future remains in the shadows, to face your fate, you must be willing to embrace the unknown, and march forward to it without regret.

To live a life without regret, you must be willing to embrace yourself fully, and be brave enough to do the things you always wanted to do. Shamelessly, remorselessly. That's how you'll know, you have lived a life well lived -- under your own terms.

Most people do not have the courage to step out from what they're doing in life and chase after their dreams. Security prevents them from doing great things and becoming the best version of themselves.

Those who give in to security, are fated to live dull, monotonous lives, until retirement comes, and then that is it. But the question is, are they really willing to face the fate of such lives?

Fate, is determined by our choices, for life is but a story of how you die. All your choices eventually lead up to the ultimate fate of death.

Facing your fate means welcoming death with open arms. Those willing to bring it sooner than expected prevent themselves from the chance of living fulfilling lives, instead succumbing to temporary misery and suffering which tempt them to finally end it.

That in my opinion isn't worth it, for suffering is there to make you stronger. It is like a bitter medicine, taken chronically. Should you not be able to face it, and fail to endure it, you hasten your fate in utter weakness, and leave this world without healing from the very suffering which is but a phase to make you stronger.

The best way to face your fate is after living a life without regrets. The fate of death then becomes easier to carry. We are all bound to die, but not all of us are mentally prepared for it.

To live a life well lived, you must chase what is in your heart. Bravely, relentlessly, and determined. You must sacrifice security for passion, comfort for daring acts, and fear for self-honesty. Only then, you will be able to live a life that is without or with little regret, which is the definition of a life well lived.

Death is hard to bear, whether happening to ourselves or to our dear ones. However, the more you live your life without regret, the more you will be able to face your fate with far less difficulty than otherwise.

Facing your fate is an act of bravery. Many would choose to run away from their fates through distractions and, like an ostrich putting its head underground, deny reality for what it is: A temporary journey with a clear end.

The less you'll want to do, the easier facing your fate will be, as the more you desire, the more you'll suffer in the failure to attain it all. For a life well lived, desire has to end eventually, and in its stead, let peace take its place.

And to face the inevitable fate of your death, bravery is not solely needed but also peace. To go and to leave this mortal realm both bravely and peacefully, knowing you did all you wanted to do.

My fate is already known, for I am set for life. My cursed condition puts me in a unique situation where I can chase my dreams as a young, retired man. My fate is that of solitude, because the world around me will keep on focusing on its survival while I alone remain with all my wants and needs met.

Whenever I am left alone, I am confronted with what awaits me decades down the line... a life of utter solitude. Solitude, therefore, is also how I will face my fate of death.

Although young (2025), I am prepared to face my fate. All company I have is a temporary bliss. Of that I am painfully aware.

Philosocom is how I gain my meaning and purpose in this world. That is why I spent much time and dedication on this platform. I live to work on it for the more I work on it, the better off I become in life. Through my own platform, I found love, I found purpose, and most of all, I found peace.

However, I am aware that all the blessings that I get by working on this site are temporary. All the people that come and partake on this massive project are also bound to leave. Everything around me is running on borrowed time, and the chronic fate of dying alone remains.

In order to go out without regret, I helped and saved people. In this way, I have proved my relevancy, and completed my arc of moral revenge. Without me, people would've died. That is enough for me to live life in long term peace, of accomplished relevance.

I do not know what other blessings await me by working on the site, however I am well aware that I am bound to die alone. This site is like a crystal palm tree that drops diamonds on me, however these diamonds are prone to be lost to the fabric of time.

I must do whatever I can to preserve this "palm tree" for the next generations, and leave a legacy behind me. It is within my control to face fate the way I want it, however the solitude aspect is an inevitable possibility.

I have deviated from academic life to live a life of a hero and retired website owner. I do not regret forsaking the academy. Saving lives seems more meaningful than a mere degree. Lives are more important than degrees.

I have no regrets, and I am ready to face my fate, whenever it will come.

How about you? Will you choose a route of security and mediocrity, or dare to do great things in which could risk yourself and your sanity, even? The choice is up to you, for you are the narrator of your own story.

The story of how dust becomes dust.
