Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.

Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.

Summary

This quote suggests that regardless of our desires or wishes, fate has a way of guiding our lives. Those who are open and willing to embrace new opportunities and take risks are more likely to be led towards positive outcomes. On the other hand, those who resist or hesitate to follow the path laid out by fate will be compelled forcefully, often struggling along the way. Ultimately, this quote highlights the importance of being open-minded and adaptable to the direction that life takes us, as it highlights the contrasting experiences of those who willingly surrender to fate versus those who resist its guidance.
