Destiny

Destiny is, according to Wikipedia, a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. Okay well that sounds good and all..but what is it really? Are we all destined to accomplish certain things in life..is it all great things? How do we know if we fulfill our destinies? Is that why some of us feel at odds with our life and life decisions-because we have not fulfilled our destinies? How are we supposed to figure out what that is? Although, it does seem some of us are destined for certain things- that  kid that bandages all his pets becomes a great vet, the child that plays classroom with dolls becomes a teacher- but some of us are not so easy to figure out. What about all us "artsy" people- the ones that seem to "drift"- are we not destined for greatness as well? Many of us also have multiple passions- how can we choose which passion will lead us to our destiny? Obviously I am feeling a bit conflicted- I feel as is I am missing something..something is missing in my life- I feel like an incomplete puzzle- Is it my anxiety? Is it my depression? Is it my job? My marriage? My family? Where is my conflict stemming from? Is it because I know I am missing something? Do I subconsciously know that I am on the wrong path or that i need to start looking for a new path? Am I just stubborn for thinking that I meant to do more in my life-than what I am doing now? Is this something that everyone feels or just some us? Does it really mean we are missing something? I do  think that we all have purpose in life and that we mean something to someone..but I think we need to  mean the most to ourselves. If we are not happy with ourselves we can not be happy for or with anyone else. The big question is how do we get there? How do we find ourselves- get to our destinies-or at least get to where we feel fulfilled- There of course is not easy answer to this question, but can't someone at least provide a road map?
