Most people confuse destiny with determinism — as if accepting it means surrendering control. Dr. Jivasu inverts this completely: it's society that reduces your freedom, not destiny. In this conversation, he traces the biological roots of destiny from star dust to single cell to the unique potential embedded in every human being — and explains why following your flow, not your fate, is the path back to who you actually are.Subscribe to our channel for bi-weekly episodes!
