There is no guaranty that you will be saved but is it a big deal? And in "Forest Gump" people are not the owners of their lives, they are just following the wind. And here is a good expression of Forest's mum: "You have to do the best with what God gave you." If you have something that is called a great desire in your heart than the strong wind will be just a small breath for you!
