I too agree that one of the essential elements of finding one's Destiny and one's niche, even is to keep yourself open to the possibility or attentive to the voice of Fate, etc.
But this quote, I believe, goes too far. Also I rail against it because it too many people, too many of whom are in my personal acquaintance have adopted a really dysfunctional aspect of "passivity" and use a truckload of sad excuses, including quotes like these as some sort of rationalisation. You are not one of these people and I have come to know that you would never succumb to something so lame. But too many, far too many are just waiting around for the bell to ring and letting themselves be enslaved when it does.
The implications of this quote, based on the wording I picked on, sound to me a whole lot more like "passive" than "receptive".
Grounding and centering yourself and your life so that you can percieve the currents and work with them instead of struggling against them is NOT the same as "leaving your destiny to chance".
