Sometimes the universe drags us kicking and screaming to where we need to be but that suggests a higher power. Yet, here we are. Maybe we are our own higher power.
I would say it 'brought us to where we are,' but that's not necessarily where we need to be. But if we're happy where we are, then we can look back and see the events that brought us 'here' and think of it as something guiding us. But when it comes to evolution, there's a lot of adapting that takes place as well.
