No specific stories comes to mind, but a quote from Master Oogway in Kung Fu Panda: "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." It's so easy to focus on what we don't want instead of what we do want...and then we bring about what we're focused on. Oops.
I love that quote. I found that the inspiration for the movie probably originates with Jean de La Fontaine: "A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it."
Look at Disney getting us interested in 17th century French philosophy!
You guys crack me up. Before I started reading the article, I said to myself: I haven’t had enough coffee for all this intellect. And now, I’m going for another cup.

If my only contribution is to have more coffee enjoyed on my behalf, I feel like I can go to sleep at night feeling pretty good about myself.
That Dan Nest guy, though... he is trouble.
I hear he likes talking about himself in the third person too. What a lunatic.
Before I started reading this article, I said to myself: I'm going to leave a comment once I'm done. And now I'm leaving the comment.
I feel like that qualifies as a great example!
Self-fulfilling commentary.
It’s almost the 2068th (?) anniversary of Caesar’s death. Numbers are not my forte, but it’s like the one historical date that sticks in my memory.
He made lousy pizza anyway!
Sorry, I got confused and thought you were Daniel Nest.
😂Gross pizza for sure, also who puts fish in salad dressing. Guy had real weird taste.
