Absolutely things must happen in thier own time, but effort is still required. You get your destined future unless you work to change it. We all know the future is an illusion just as the past is. There is only now. So the question is what do you want your "now" to become. How you spend your "now" will affect what your now becomes.
In general I would agree to follow what resonates with you, however always keep in mind the warning about "believing in what you 'want' to be true". Avoid getting caught up in a feel good system that doesn't produce anything. Religion is notorious for this.
