Pronunciation: [pɹˈiːdˌɛstɪnˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Pre-destination refers to the belief that one's life path has been predetermined by a divine force. Though this term is often associated with religious doctrines, there are various synonyms that can be used to express the same idea. These include fate, providence, kismet, destiny, predetermination, and preordination. Each of these terms embraces the idea that our lives are shaped by forces beyond our control, whether that be the will of a higher power, chance events, or a predetermined course. While some believe in the concept of pre-destination, others see life as an unpredictable journey that is shaped by one's choices and actions.
