No. There is no such thing as fate (defined as a "predetermined course"). The consequences of acting on ones free will has a direct relationship with the outcome (also defined as "fate", but in a different context).

Choose your destiny or suffer your fate. Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
