Maktub!!

Maktub" means, "it is written."  Remember that in Coehlo's novel, one writes their own destiny.
Others you meet along your path to are able to help you realize your "Personal Legend."  Omens may assist you as well, but it is up to you to either act or reject each step along the path that will lead to your destiny. 
Satiago will hear the word "maktub" many times during his own journey (from the King of Salem, and the crystal merchant, to name two) after he has made a crucial decision to follow his dreams. 
An example of someone who failed to listen to his heart and rejected the help and omens along the way is the crystal merchant.  He tells Santiago how he made conscious decisions to reject a more meaningful life.  "Maktub."  He too wrote his own story.
