This is an interesting question. As I ponder over this question, I realize its surprisingly complex.
I could say:
It was my choice to do this right now.
It was my destiny that I would choose to do this right now
It was my choice to think in this way that 'It was my destiny to make this specific choice right now'.
I was destined to make this choice to think that 'It was my choice
to choose to think that it is my destiny to make this choice right now.
....and so forth.
It is like an infinite thought sandwich.
...choice - destiny - choice - destiny - choice - destiny - choice - destiny...
Its like 2 mirrors facing each other and reflecting each other infinitely.
Choice is reflected by destiny. Destiny is reflected by choice.
They both are inseparable from each other, since they mutually create each other.
If everything was destined,
how can choice exist. Things would happen exactly as per the
pre-determined. Also if that were the case, even the word destiny would
be meaningless because what would you compare it against.
If we had absolute choice, then you would do exactly what you want to do, when you want to do it.
In this case, destiny is meaningless, but what does 'choice' even mean in that case, if that is the one and only reality anyway?
So the 2 concepts are a dualistic pair. Just like all the
other dualistic concepts - light/dark, day/night, happiness/sadness etc.
The duality pairs mutually create each other simultaneously. They
appear together and disappear together. If one exists, the other is
inevitably implied.
In fact that's where the entire play of creation stems
from the splitting of the Absolute ONE into TWO. There is no creation
without duality (Creation/destruction duality is implicit even when you
use the word creation).
