How do I find out what my destiny is?
(so that i can choose whether or not to fulfill it)
How do I decide whether or not I have fulfilled my destiny?
Does someone somewhere have a list? are they checking it twice?
Maybe my destiny is to sit here reading worthless babble on the internet.
in which case: Mission accomplished! GO ME!

I define Destiny as the fulfillment of our purpose in life
So, what is YOUR purpose in life?
How do you know?
Not as random occurrences
How do you know something is a "random" occurrence or not?

The very fact that you are asking, "How do I find out what my destiny is," shows youthful ignorance.
Asking questions is a sign of ignorance? surely that's the way to end ignorance
(Oh, and it's a long time since I've been called "Youthful".. thanksl")
It's instinctive, and requires lots of belief not just in God, but in oneself. You have to believe that you are meant for something. If you believe that, you will discover your destiny, or purpose, easily.
from this I take it you know your destiny? care to share?
As far as deciding whether or not you have fulfilled your destiny, you don't. Again, youthful ignorance. It's just something that you feel
ah, I see, so it's totally subjective and unverifiable.
It's like asking, "How does one breathe?" or "How do I decide if whether or not I have exhaled oxygen out of my lungs?"
bad examples. both of these are easily answerable.
Does someone somewhere have a list? Yes. It's God. But that's coming from a Christian's viewpoint.
bingo!
