“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.”

Dr. Randy Pausch

What I think Dr. Randy is trying to say and what he means is that we’re to busy trying to figure out the actions and what to do to achieve our dreams. We’re to busy planning our next move to get us there. I think what he is trying to say is that instead of planning on how to achieve our dreams we should just lead our life the right way. In other words just be the greatest person you can be and do positive things in your life. I believe if you do positive things and lead your life the right way, just like Randy said, positive karma will get us back. In return we’ll get a great destiny, fortune, and good luck and all of our dreams will come to us. So instead of wondering how to achieve our goals and dreams we should be planning to lead our life the right way. 

“ Decisions determine destiny.”
Thomas S. Monson


What the quote means to me is that every choice you make has an outcome and consequence. They lead to new opportunities and success or failure. I know some people believe their destiny is already done and planned but in reality you get to choose your own destiny and what kind of person you want to become. It’s up to you what you want your destiny to become by the decisions you make.
