The boy didn't know what a person's "destiny" was.
"It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is.
"At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny."
None of what the old man was saying made any sense to the boy. But he wanted to know what the "mysterious force was; the merchant's daughter would be impressed when he told her about that!
"It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission here on earth."
..."And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
- The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
