That sounds like something my mother used to say when I was growing up and we kept getting into one bad situation after another, traversing countries. She would say, "We'll be where we are meant to be. Unless we're somewhere else."

eta: She also used to say, "You've only got yourself. No one else is going to be there for you." It was actually her pep talk. She did not have any idea that it was a dire concept to instill in a child.
