My personal belief is that noone has a fate. Its your job to create a life of your own. Through this life your children will be taught and your influence is great. Through them you will live and through their kids they will. Some people are spoon fed, while others have to work all their lives to achieve greatness. This is my belief.
Fate is what people call their life when they screw up really bad or get so lucky they have no idea why they are rich. Doesn't exist, it's just a name for things that we do for almost no reason.
This is what i think too i think fate exists but it only interfeirs in short term situations. However in our whole overarching life i think we are free to choose most desisions.
