Does life really have to suck ?

These days I feel many times where am I headed? What are my goals? What are my ambitions? Is there something I desire in life? Where do I see myself in 10 years? Its like I get millions of questions.

I am 23 now, and if I think in a way I have not done really bad so far. I thank god that he provided me with opportunities which helped me get today where I am standing, but what now? Is it like from now onwards I shall have to take my own decisions? Or I am still going to leave to fate and destiny to choose a path for me and I will just continue moving on it. I remember a quote from TV series HEROES "choose a path or destiny with do that for you. Well destiny might choose the best path as well or at least I can make myself believe that it is the best path as I never would have been to any other path but is it worth it? Can we just let destiny decide our whole life? Well we can if we have faith in God and we can choose a path ourselves if we have faith in self. Do I have faith in self? Do I have faith in God? Well answers to both the questions is both yes and no. I do have faith in God for I have always achieved things for which I have worked hard, thanks a lot God. Please continue your mercy on me like this. But wait I said things for which I worked hard. I never got things for which I didnt work hard, so does it mean that I can be confident on myself? After all, its you who does things for you isnt it ? God doesn't write exams for you, he doesnt appear to interviews in your place.Well but luck is something worth considering always sometimes I feel that a lot of things in life are determined by forces you have no control over. Luck plays a major role and we can say that luck is decided by GOD. So its ultimately God. Well if we keep thinking like this its never going to end.

Well there is one Sanskrit Shloka which

कर्मण्येवाधिकारास्ते म फलेषु कदाचन |
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भु मा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मणि॥


Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachna
ma Karmaphalheturbhu ma te sangostvakarmani.
Ch. 2, 47

In English translation:
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action। Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

I believe this thing. I know that this is the best way to achieve happiness and success in life. I will try my best to follow this principle thought by great Krishna. Dear god give me strength.
