Description
Fate or Destiny is a collection of photos and stories that aim to inspire people to make conscious choices in life rather than to merely follow the well trodden trail. The author, Nilmini De Silva draws on life experiences, many gained during her travels to all seven continents, to raise questions on various aspects of life that are often taken for granted. The book challenges the reader to examine life more carefully, asking them what they would wish to look back on when they reach their twilight years.Many people use the words 'fate' and 'destiny' interchangeably but the author believes them to have opposing meanings. To choose fate is to let your life unfold according to the norms of the society you were born to. To choose destiny, is to make a conscious choice at every stage of your life.Through a unique collection of photographs and insightful writing the author explains that the pursuit of destiny is all about finding the thing that makes your heart sing. It means living your life with real passion and being true to your convictions. The book draws from two main journeys the author completed. The first journey was a solo year long journey, which culminated in a visit to Antarctica. The second was a 7 month journey she undertook with her partner which concentrated on travel to Europe where they volunteered in various eco-villages and intentional communities to better understand how they functioned. 'Fate or Destiny' shows that pursuing your destiny may begin as a solo journey but that this is the best way to find a soul mate. While Nilmini believes that to find your destiny, you have to distance yourself from the routines and rituals of life, the book concludes that finding your destiny is not just about leaving home...it is about finding home.
