This concept extends beyond work; those who discover positive significance in various aspects of life create a psychological virtuous cycle. Their actions, driven by this mindset, often lead to the results they aspire to achieve.

  Our unforeseeable fate does not solely determine our future. Instead, it is how we interpret the events that unfold, the choices we make, and the actions we take in response to them that ultimately shape the direction of our destiny. In this sense, our fate reveals our possibilities.
