It's easier to retreat in some way, and decide we need the comfort of some "higher authority" - a god or a government, or something we can believe is driving us to become some better version of ourselves - to achieve our destiny.
It's like we need someone or something we can praise and give thanks for our blessings, or someone or something we can blame (or will share our guilt) when we fail, or someone or something we can use to punish others because they haven't lived up to our expectations.
Let's take a quick look Jean-Paul Sartre.
The urge to find your one true calling
is a manufactured pressure.
The only purpose your life has
is the purpose you give it.
