Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved. Any comments?

destiny - I don't believe in destiny, I believe in going and getting what you want.
Hi. I don't believe in destiny. But if would have believed it, then I would have given these words a second thought for sure. Though there are situations when we don't have choices.

hello shogun. yes i completely agree with the quote, it is very true. we people should learn how to be responsible with our lives. it reminds me of a poem, i am the captain of my soul, the master of my fate.

Unfortunately for Bryan, it was his destiny to be remembered as a buffoon! While there are elements of our lives that are predestined, such as genealogy, anatomy, etc., just about everything is truy a matter of choice. When in circumstances that are not of our choosing, it's how we react to those circumstances (our choice!) that makes them impact us as they do. That's why some survive drastic illnesses and others give up ansd succumb. Make your life happen For you; don't let it just happen TO you!
