You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed is, so is your destiny. [BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD]

Why should those who rejoice when destiny brings good moan when that same destiny decrees misfortune? What is there that is mightier than destiny? For it is there ahead of us even in the plans we devise to overcome it. [TIRUKKURAL 38: 379-380]

If my destiny is known to the stars, to whom is the stars’ destiny known? [SWAMI VEDA BHARTI]

Destiny is ordained totally by you. Every single moment of your now existence is the result of your previous thought. The idea that everything is already laid out for you in advance is a hallucination. [WAYNE W DYER]
