Do you believe in fate?

I'd like some comments on this sentence. Fate or Destiny, is it the same thing? I believe that certain things are supposed to happen in our lives. Maybe only one or two or even ten things (I'm only guessing, I really have no idea just how many) are 'meant' to happen. The rest of your life is for you to choose as you will. If I want to sit on THAT chair, it has nothing to do with fate or destiny. If you want to eat chocolate ice-cream instead of strawberry, again it's not fate or destiny, it is just something that you felt like at the time. Only certain events are supposed to happen, usually things to learn from. When you start straying from those events (or the path), things tend to happen to push you back in that direction again. There have been at least three concrete moments in my time where are am 100% certain that fate was pushing me in the direction that I'm supposed to be even though I didn't want to go that way. Though now I still don't know where I'm going! I'm not saying that our entire life is preordained, not even a small part is. Only specific moments.
