mundus meus, lux mea, futurum meum
"Futurum", literally my future, sounds better in Latin than "fatum" which would be fate, even doom...

Maybe "spes mea" instead of futurum meum. This literally means "my hope." Just another option, keeping the same sense of looking forward...

Here there are some examples:
Si vis amari, ama (Seneca): If you want to be loved, love
Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori (Virgil): Love overcomes everything, let us be overcome by love
Excruciunt quandoque amor, numquam perimit (Ludovicus Vives): Love sometimes tires out, but never kills.
Amantium irae amoris integratio est (Terentius)
Quarrels of lovers are a renewal of love.
Hope it helps!

Here an example of Augustine's Soliloquia -it is extracted, which means a little out of context, because it refers to God, but no so much, if we have in mind that God is love:
Salus mea, lux mea, vita mea
This is the whole phrase: deus meus,
domine meus,
rex meus,
pater meus,
causa mea,
spes mea,
res mea,
honor meus,
domus mea,
patria mea,
salus mea,
lux mea,
vita mea,
exaudi, exaudi, exaudi me
more illo tuo paucis notissimo.
