Today's "Thought for the Day"

Destiny is no 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.

-William Jennings Bryan

I agree.

.

I hear things like "He's destined for great things" ... or "She's destined for failure" and so on. And really, it's a choice. Someone may come from a background that is less than healthy to be raised in and around, and the popular thought is that they will not make anything of their lives. Some would say that history is bound to repeat itself, and this person's destiny is fixed. But CHOICES are the key - they can choose to climb out of those circumstances and fight to change that "destiny".

.

Same thing goes for a destiny of greatness. Choices can be made that will destroy those expectations of grandure, and soon you see the effects of those choices.

This is kind of what I feel I am fighting for -- to change my destiny. Making choices now that will effect my future. We all have that - the ability to change our destiny. So where do you want your life to go? How do you want spend the rest of your life? Make choices today so that you can get there tomorrow.
