Your life is not decided by fate; you must create the future you want by taking the right actions now.
People sometimes believe everyone was created to fulfill a certain role in life and no matter what he does, life still pushes him to that direction regardless. This means, by design, the poor were born and predestined to be poor. As much as it may have some explanation that justifies their claim, life is not decided by fate. Everyone was born to succeed but it's unfortunate that not everyone gets to this point of success. Not because of their environment, socioeconomic status, availability of resources, or educational standard, but because not everyone takes actions.
Fates create the desire to achieve what we were born to achieve but action makes us accomplish them. What distinguishes successful people from unsuccessful people is that one of them takes action and the other does not. Action is the link between wishes and success and unless one goes through the bridge, fate still lingers unaccomplished.
To create the future we envision, we must grow past the stage of talking to the stage where we take action. In deciding what we become in life, action is the principal thing. No one has achieved anything in life by doing nothing, even fate requires work to come true, else it'll remain mere wish and a desire to do. Life only responds to action, it's no respecter of wishes and words, only action has room to change what has been foreseen. Grow past the stage of talking and start doing, it doesn't matter how slow you begin, what matters is that you're working and making progress.
