Ask not that events should happen as you will, but let your will be that events should happen as they do, and you shall have peace.

Don’t demand or expect that events happen as you would want them too. Accept events as they actually happen. That way, peace is possible

Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.

That which is possible is inevitable.

History works itself out by an inevitable internal logic.

Don’t seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will — then your life will flow well.

The unpredictable and the predetermined unfold together to make everything the way it is.

A magic leverage suddenly is caught
That moves the veiled Ineffable’s timeless will:
A prayer, a master act, a king idea
Can link man’s strength to a transcendent Force.

Then miracle is made the common rule,
One mighty deed can change the course of things;
A lonely thought becomes omnipotent.

Make what’s possible, inevitable.

Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well. — EPICTETUS
