Universe, god, force, some entity that we are unaware of has a set plan for each of us. Whether or not we achieve the ultimate goal or purpose for our life depends on whether or not we follow our "gut" and take the RIGHT risks.

Keep the "omg purpose in life? lol no" to a minimum. Just looking for other thoughts on this. I don't "believe" in having a belief or a god, but rather I have ideas and remain open to other ideas.

No, I don't think that your life's path is preordained and you just have the illusion of free will.

I am open to the possibility that your entire life from birth until death can exist even beyond the point in your life that you're currently living, in other words it may be possible that the entire path of my life could already be known (if you could view things four dimensionally), but it will genuinely be me that influences the path taken. I'm less convinced by the theories of alternate timelines in which I made different decisions effecting the outcomes.

i'm not sure what i believe anymore. sometimes i think that things are on a set path, but with all the changes to my life, i can't see a path before me.

No god, so no plan.
