A Quote by Judith Durham
I used to worry a lot and regret a lot before I took on this whole concept of karma. But now I understand that destiny is what it's all about. I still push ahead and look forward to achieving certain goals but I try not to lay up expectations that they have to happen.

Destiny itself has no solid form; it's something you can create. You can create your life. That is why we study karma.
