destiny

The word "destiny" is often used in a positive or hopeful way, suggesting a grand purpose or a goal that someone is meant to achieve. While it is similar to "fate," destiny usually implies a destination or a result that can be reached through a combination of predetermined events and personal action. Fate is often seen as more negative or unavoidable.
