There is the concept that our soul/spirit pre-determines the content of the life we need to live as humans (and/or as other sentient beings). This way we can experience exactly those situations that bring the lessons needed for our growth. If this holds true then all that is here is exactly what is to be here and it cannot be anything other.
This also allows the belief (which I hold deeply to be true), “that which is meant to be ours will not miss us”. So when things happen the way we want them to- it is because that is what is meant to be, and when things do not happen the way we want them to, its because they are not meant to manifest in our lives the way we imagined them to be.
In most cases the lessons we learn that help us grow are paramount, the outcomes are usually inconsequential. Thus disappointment becomes obsolete, there is no need for it, as the very things the Universe has conspired to bring us are right here.
So as humans, we can strive to reach the stars, if this is our hearts true desire, yet fully know that we may not reach them, not because we were wrong to want them, but because they are not meant for us at this time. We can also in many case, sit back and allow it to unfold.
