On dictionary.reference.com, fate is described as "something that unavoidably befalls a person," differing from destiny, described as "the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistable, course of events." Though they are used as synonyms, destiny connotates predeterminationand irriversability, whereas fate doesn't necessarily have to be thus.

Sorry if that sounded obnoxiously intellectual. I thought that question needed addressed, as it is an excellent question.
