The deepest longings of the human individual are supposed to determine his future.

Sa yathakamo bhavati, tat kratur bhavati,
yat kratur bhavati, tat karma kurute,
yat karma kurute, tat abhisampadyate.

You are what your deepest desire is.
As you desire, so is your intention.
As your intention, so is your will.
As is your will, so is your deed.
As is your deed, so is your destiny

– Brhadaranyaka Upanishad
