Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit?

Grey as a mouse,Big as a house,Nose like a snake,I make the earth shake,As I tramp through the grassTrees crack as I pass.With horns in my mouthI walk in the South,Flapping big ears.Beyond count of yearsI stump round and round,Never lie on the ground,Not even to die.Oliphaunt am I,Biggest of all,Huge, old, and tall.If ever youd met meYou wouldnt forget me.If you never do,You wont think Im trueBut Oliphaunt am I,And I never lie.
J.R.R. Tolkien
