Is there such a thing as destiny in life, or do we create our future moment to moment?

definition
"Destiny exists only for the unconscious; when you awaken, you realize that each moment is a canvas for your conscious creation. Embrace the balance of clear action and surrendered openness, allowing the essential to unfold."
According to Osho, destiny is real only for the unconscious. When you live mechanically, biology and conditioning script your life. With awareness you step out of that program: you consciously do what is practical, and you stop doing where the essential must happen—love, grace, insight. A wise life balances clear action with surrendered openness, letting the higher 'happen' while shaping the rest.
If you’re on autopilot, fate runs you; if you wake up and act mindfully, you do what can be done and let the big, beautiful things happen by themselves.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks unconscious habits so you stop repeating the same destiny.
- Guides when to act and when to let go, reducing stress and overcontrol.
- Opens space for love, creativity, and insight to arise naturally.
