42 follow one's star
(follow one's (или smb.'s) star)следовать своей судьбе, исполнять предначертанное судьбой (верить в чью-л, звезду, следовать за кем-л.) [этим. см. be born under a lucky star]‘Then you are not vexed with me?’ ‘No, my dear boy. You have served me well and I have found you honest, loyal and energetic. Fortune favours the Duke and I can't blame you for wanting to follow his star.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘Then and Now’, ch. XXXIV) — - Значит, я тебя не огорчил? - Нет, мой дорогой мальчик. Ты служил мне верой и правдой. Ты был честным, преданным и энергичным. Фортуна благоволит герцогу, и я не могу осуждать тебя за то, что ты поверил в его звезду.
You might be a second-rater or a third-rater, but if you had used your gifts to the full, followed your star, you wouldn't call yourself a failure, or have a heart full of regrets. (R. Greenwood, ‘Good Angel Slept’, ch. 24) — Ты можешь занимать в обществе второстепенное и даже третьестепенное положение, но, если ты максимально использовал свои способности, всегда следовал своей звезде, не называй себя неудачником, не мучайся сожалениями.
