Fate?

Have you read "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho?
Fate, destiny, Karma....whatever name you give it,
I think our life is guided by that unseen force.
How hard we try, or don't try at all,
that force take us to where we are destined to.
Many experience in my life taught me this.
There were thing I tried my best to achieve but failed.
Also there were things I wanted to avoid but couldn't.
All this time I think my fate did what is best for me,
irrespective of whether I like it or not.
Do you have similar experience?
Like to share them with others?

Life offers me opportunities which are valued by others as gold.
But for me there are more valuable things in life....................happiness......... which money cannot buy.............
The world sees me as unsuccessful if I don' do well materialistically,
But is it really the material things that are valuable????
