"運命は意志のある者を導き、気の進まない者を引きずっていく"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, life guides people who are ready to embrace changes and new opportunities. They move forward smoothly because they are willing to go along with what happens. On the other hand, if someone resists or is hesitant, life can feel like a struggle, as if they are being forced against their will. Think of it like a river. If you swim with the current, you move easily and quickly. But if you try to swim against it, you will get tired and feel stuck. This saying suggests that being open and adaptable makes life less challenging. Instead of fighting against what happens, it's often better to go with the flow and look for the positive in each situation.
