Do you believe in Fate?

By definition, fate is the supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events and the inevitable events predestined by this force--(www.dictionary.com) Some people think fate is nothing more that a coincidence--being at a certain place at a certain time while others believe in a force that is like a magnet. One or the other has to be correct. From personal experience, I have had an awful lot of bad things happen, but for good reasons so I believe in fate and not in coincidence. Do you believe in fate? What are some experiences you have had that make your choice easier to explain?

I don't really believe in Fate. I believe things happen for a reason, but I don't think life is predetermined. I believe God has a plan for my life, and I make decisions on whether I work with his plan or walk far away. I believe bad things do happen for a reason, but like God uses those bad things to make me stronger. so I guess in a way I believe in fate, but more of God's fate and God's desires for me.
