It (destiny) is 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.
When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything. When I ceased to be someone who I am I found myself. When I was humilated and yet I kept on walking, I realised I was free to choose my own Destiny
We are responsible for everything that happens in this world. We are warriors of light, and with the strength of our love and of our will we can change our destiny and that of many other people.
Man needs to choose, not just accept, his destiny.
The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
Each human being was given two qualities: power and the gift. Power directs us towards our destiny; the gift obliges us to share with others what is best in us.
The warrior of the light has a destiny to fulfill.
When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything. When I ceased to be who I am, I found myself. When I experienced humiliation and yet kept on walking, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny.
Anyone who interferes with the destiny of another thing never will discover his own.
His way isn't the same as mine, nor mine as his. But we're both in search of our destinies, and I respect him for that.
Often in the search for your destiny you will find yourself obliged to change direction
Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.
They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny.
We are all masters of our own destinies.
