There are many fantastic tales of people who tried to fight the Fates.
Those who saw failure in their future and conspired to avert it, instead of continuing on their path to face it.
No matter how they wriggle and squirm, Misfortune always catches up, wielding her scroll and spoon to stir things up until we learn a lesson.
There is no need to fret when destiny takes you for a spin.
You’ve failed before and were fine — better even.
You can do it again.
And next time will be more fun.
