“There is nothing so deep and so inexpressible as the power of destiny”
— John Quincy Adams
Simplified Meaning:
Destiny refers to the idea that certain events or outcomes are meant to happen in our lives, no matter what we do. It’s like an unstoppable force that guides us toward our future. Think of it like a powerful river; you can swim against the current, but eventually, you'll be carried in the direction the river flows. For instance, historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. may have faced many obstacles, but it seemed like he was meant to lead the civil rights movement no matter what challenges arose. People can apply this wisdom by understanding that while they should put in effort and persistence, they also need to recognize when to let go and trust that some things are beyond their control. Accepting this can bring peace and help them focus on what they can change, rather than stressing over what they can't.
