What is fate?

Fate is like having a special recipe that you follow every day, it decides what kind of meal you’ll end up eating.

Imagine you have a toy car that rolls down a track each morning. Sometimes it takes the same path, and sometimes it chooses a new one, but no matter which way it goes, it always ends up in your toy box at night. That’s like fate, it might let you choose some things, but in the end, everything comes together to make something happen.

Like a Map You Can’t Change

Think of fate as a map that shows where you’ll go, not all the steps are decided yet, but the final destination is already there. It’s like when your mom tells you that after school, you’ll stop by the park and then go home. Even if you pick which path to take in the park, you still know you’re going home at the end.

Sometimes You Can Change the Map

Sometimes fate feels like it's written in stone, like a big rock that won’t move no matter how hard you push. But sometimes it’s more like clay, soft and easy to shape if you try. So even though fate is like your special recipe, you can still add or take away ingredients as you go!
