From the time you were born, you have been filled with influences and ideas from every direction. In addition to that, there is constant bombardment of rays of energy from the distant stars and all the planets which have passed through you and have an effect on you continually. You cannot act completely independently of these influences.
So the factor that makes the result vary from our plans is the presence of the Lord in every action that we take. It is best to conclude that everything that happens is God's will and not struggle at it. Accept it as God's will and ask for His Grace. That is the height of devotion.
