Ask not that events should happen as you will, but let your will be that events should happen as they do, and you shall have peace.

Of course there’s destiny, but destiny doesn’t push you where you don’t want to go. You’re the ones who choose. Destiny is up to you.

Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well.

Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.

For I was, as you have already guessed, a collaborator with Destiny, not one who put a pistol to its head and demanded particular treasures. The only thing for me to do was to keep on keeping on, to have faith in my whim, and remember that for me, as for the saints, illumination when it came would probably come from some unexpected source.

Let not thy divining heart
Forethink me any ill;
Destiny may take thy part,
And may thy fears fulfill.

Go with yourself.

Don't ask for things to happen as you would like them to, but wish them to happen as they actually do, and you will be all right.

So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don't let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don't force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way.

Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.

Do not fear for me. Make straight your own path to destiny.

Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well.

It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny... It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and you will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

Follow your passions, believe in karma, and you won't have to chase your dreams, they will come to you.
