"Everything happens for a reason"

When thinking of the concept of determinism my mind came across the clique "Everything happens for a reason." Thinking of this quote made me question the meaning behind cliques like this one. People often use "everything happens for a reason" as a playful saying. However, from a determinist perspective, it makes a lot of sense. We are destined to do things and things are destined to happened to us because they are predetermined. Do other cliques have a logical background to them?
