English term or phrase: what's meant to be

Dear all,

How can we best translate the expression "What is meant to be" in:

{TO ADVISE YOU, I'D SAY FOCUS ON WHAT'S IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW THROUGHOUT FAMILY AND AROUND YOUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOUR MAIN PRIORITY IS RIGHT NOW. WHAT'S MEANT TO BE.}

That was said by a psychic to a client.

Thanks a lot.

المكتوب

Explanation:
Hi Mai - you are Egyptian, so you should know this one: المكتوب على الجبين لازم تشوفه العين. This is what it means. ركز على أسرتك وعلاقاتك الشخصية لأن ده هو المهم دلوقت، ده المكتوب لك.
