#Destiny

"Does our purpose on Earth directly link to the people whom we end up meeting? Are our relationships and experiences actually the required dots that connect and then lead us to our ultimate destinies?"

"Remember how far you’ve come, and you won’t have to rely on a destiny for your future. It will come on your own."

"Know what you want and reach out eagerly for it."

"Realize that if a door closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you."

"Your level of consciousness defines the beauty of your life and destiny."

"From someone who doesn't want to share your destiny, you should neither accept a cigarette"

"There are no coincidences in life. What person that wandered in and out of your life was there for some purpose, even if they caused you harm. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense the short periods of time we get with people, or the outcomes from their choices. However, if you turn it over to God he promises that you will see the big picture in the hereafter. Nothing is too small to be a mistake."

"You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it."

"I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice."

"I know that your soul is on life support and that you feel lost and like you’re completely spinning out of control, but you’re finding yourself — here, tonight… even in this darkness."

"You life matters. You are here for a reason. Your job is to determine why."

"To be invisible, paint yourself with the direct shade of zero. Leave nothing to chance, by taking nothing with you wherever you go."

"I just want your voice aimed at me again. I want to absorb the direction of your eyes…"

"Everything hurts right now and nothing is helping because as the pain is getting worse — so is the love."

"I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self… that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me."

"But I was always coming here. I though about one of my favorite Sufi poems, which says that God long ago drew a circle in the sand exactly around the spot where you are standing right now. I was never not coming here. This was never not going to happen."

"Destiny is a lie. Destiny is justification for atrocity. It is the means by which murderers armour themselves against reprimand. It is a word intended to stand in place of ethics, denying all moral context."

"Your life will be no better than the plans you make and the action you take. You are the architect and builder of your own life, fortune, destiny."

"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance. The wise grows it under his feet."

"Sometimes the best and worst times of your life can coincide. It is a talent of the soul to discover the joy in pain—-thinking of moments you long for, and knowing you’ll never have them again. The beautiful ghosts of our past haunt us, and yet we still can’t decide if the pain they caused us out weighs the tender moments when they touched our soul. This is the irony of love."
