What's the difference between fate and destiny?

Question

I know these terms have been often used interchangeably, but is there a difference for you? If so, explain the difference. Would just like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

fate is inevitable and cannot be altered by humans, e.g. death
destiny is predetermined but can be actively shaped and altered by humans.

Sentinel Warden · Answer

I feel like destiny is something you choose
And fate is forced upon you
Not getting an opportunity to pick
Surely must feel like a kick in the 🤭

Kenn · Answer

I feel like both are forced on you, but fate you don't do anything to get, and destiny you 
must do something to get. You must do it because it is your destiny.

Baseer · Answer

Fate is something that's written and cannot be changed and destiny is something you make on your individual decisions
