Cookie Contradict Confucius

My wife and I enjoyed a Chinese dinner this evening, and of course, as always, we exchanged chuckles over our "fortunes." Mine read, "Depart not from the path which fate has you assigned."
Webster's defines fate as "...An inevitable... outcome, condition or end; final outcome."
Now, if fate is inevitable and pre-determined, how could I deviate from said path?

Obviously, this was not a saying of Confucius. I think maybe it was a quote from his younger brother, Chaosis.
