“Our second hypothesis—that among those receiving the standardized intervention fighting-spirits are more apt to improve health behaviors than fatalists—is only partially supported by our findings.”
Anna V. Wilkinson. “Exact health behaviors of standardized vs tailored health messages among cancer survivors enrolled in FRESH START trial: a comparison of fighting-spirits vs fatalists.” Psycho-Oncology 22.1 (2012): 108-113. Web. 12 May 2014.

Even though this hypothesis was partially supported it still shows that there is a difference between the two mentalities. Having a mentality other than fatalist can improve an individual’s situation. For example these individuals are in the worst situation: having to go through life having cancer, and they still show improvements with themselves and their health obtaining a mentality other than a fatalist.

“Fatalism can appear as: faith based, opposition to distruct, pride covering poverty, apathy or unwillingness to change, based on ignorance of potential health outcomes, upholding a quality of life.”

There are many different categories that fit into the description of fatalism but the most common is “apathy or unwillingness to change.” This is the most effect to the population because people chose to stay the same and decide that it is best that way. Change is inevitable and will happen to everyone. No one is the same person they were yesterday, so change happens even when an individual is not trying to maintain the same.

“Transform fatedness into destiny and to gain futures”
-
I believe it is best to change the perspective because it will result in better outcomes. Someone that is guided by fate will not see results because they are obligated to believe that there are no changes to fate because it is already set to happen. They also feel like they can not change or make change happen because it is something outside of their comfort zone.

“Destiny is harder to come by than fate, because it involves the soul’s work-accepting all that we are and acknowledging all we have experienced. We move toward our destiny when we tread the path of individuation, learning from experience; disrupting repetitions and reac-tive patters; loosening defeneses; working through enactments; creating spaces for reflection, play, and the elaboration of our true self/selves.”
-
It takes a lot of hard work to change. It will take a great amount of work from the soul to be able to change one’s mentality into something much better. A mentality change will bring different outcomes and overall make a person happier. Sticking to the mentality of a fatalist will not bring much

“How can these patiens turn their perspectives around so their lives will feel less determined by the traumas of the past and may be inspired more by their as-yet-unrealized potential, their unknown and un-knowable destiny?”
