Being they are two different words, they mean different things even though people use them interchangeably sometimes. Even the dictionary does this!
Destiny is that which is predetermined. It's the end result of what we came to experience here in this particular or any incarnation. Certain experiences within the incarnation are destined also. Meaning, that regardless of what choice we make, the outcome will be the same.
What is NOT pre-destined is the path we take. That's where free-will comes in. We can take the "high road" or the "low road". That means we can make our choices from ego or fear OR we can make our choices from our heart or Love. It's up to us but all paths lead to the same destiny.
Fate, on the other hand, is NOT predetermined because of the letter F. It relates to choices we make that we are not aware of. I can hear people asking now, "How can I make a choice that I'm not aware of?" We make choices all the time when we are not fully present with our Selves (in the NOW moment). Sometimes we call it being on "automatic" or "auto-pilot" where we may be in a routine and not completely aware of all the choices we are making in a given moment.
The letter F denotes a choice. It's a choice between the "high" road and the "low" road. When we are fully present in the NOW moment we can become more aware of every little decision that we have to make. When we are not present in the NOW, that's when we can sidetrack or deviate from the "straight and narrow" path and create "lessons" for ourselves by NOT being fully present and taking the "low road". Fateful decisions can be avoided. They are not bad per se but by being present and aware we can avoid the lesson altogether and not meander off our path.
F-A-T-E broken down is this: FA is the mind process, T becomes "borrowed" from the executive portion of the word to become the motivation (heart) and then T and E are the executive portion. Mind, heart and hands/feet. I'm giving you a quick lesson from what I've learned about what individual letters of the alphabet mean and how words affect what we think, feel and do. You can read about it in the post "Science of Characteristics".
So we (F) have a choice to make and we (A) think about (without any other information) what our choices could be. We are motivated by the (T) details that we have instant contact with (aware of) and then doing things with attentiveness (T) and carefully (E).
The choice, F, is the freewill choice of Love (for self and others; wanting the win/win) and Fear; doing such and such because one is afraid of something else. This is where we often unconsciously make the choice out of fear if we are not present and aware of where the choice is coming from. Unfortunately, most people, BECAUSE they misunderstand freewill, often make their choices from fear. Care must be taken not to make choices that don't feel good. That is the indicator (feelings) where the choice is coming from.
So fate ties in with destiny as a determining factor of how we reach our destiny; by the "high road" or the "low road".
