How did you know which path would be the right path for your life

I dont think i am still on the right path at present, lol. We all go through stages where we feel kinda not sure about which path to take at the present time. I leave things to God, chance, cirstance and fate. I do have quite a lot of will power, takes a lot to break me down. However, i dont think i do have the power over some of my life, that is dictated by destiny and fate and external factors beyond our control. I am quite an organised person, however, even the most organised people cant always control what life has in store for us. We just have to believe in our decisions and hope we are on the right path as much as we possibly can be...
