Destiny and Timing

Timing and destiny are inevitably entwined and we must learn trust the Universe.

In the book EAT, PRAY, LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert there is a section on destiny:

Destiny is a play between divine grace and willful self effort. Half of it you have no control over, half of it is absolutely in your hands and your actions will show measurable consequence. Man is neither entirely a puppet of the Gods nor is he entirely the captain of his own destiny. He is a little of both. We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses. One foot is on the horse called "Faith", the other on the horse called 'Free Will' and the question you have to ask everyday is which horse is which, which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort.
