When you think fate is against you, you become isolated. Just as there is no straight line in nature, there is no straight line to success.

Your success is like a path in nature – it meanders.  It may meander into a situation that is embarrassing, or one which threatens to compromise your principles, or to force you into adversity.  When these things come up, it doesn’t mean that you’ve gone astray.

Fate is not against you.  Fate is teaching you.  Learn every lesson you can from it, so you won’t have to repeat these lessons another time through.  – Shar McBee
