If we choose to rush ahead, the car we're in might stall on the tracks.

When we get to the railroad crossing in our car, we can choose to stop and wait for the train to pass us by, or try to pull out in front of it and beat that bad boy across. Destiny is a freight train rolling along on a set course that only the conductor knows. My best bud, Acheron, once explained it to me like this. We are only pawns to a higher power that our meager human brains can't even begin to understand or comprehend. We have a preordained destiny and no matter what we do or how hard we fight it, life will happen to us exactly as it's meant to happen. We are the masters of our fate and no one can foist their will on us unless we allow it. It is our ability to control what happens to us and exactly how it happens. Some have called it the greatest gift bestowed on humanity.
