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.

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.

Discussion
As Azmi has suggested, it means something along the lines of "your destiny" or "whatever is destined to happen."
