New Driver

"I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul." ~Invictus by William Ernest Henley

First and foremost William Ernest Henley's poem Invictus is very heartfelt and is an eye opener. I chose the last two lines because it spoke to me. Now is the time time to really be in control of your life. Stop riding in the passenger seat watching things go by and instead become the driver and determine where and how your life will be. There are so many people who allow others to make our decisions or our decisions are based off of trying please others that we are not pleased with ourselves. Tat is the wrong way to live your life. No one else lives your life. No one else is effected by the good or bad decisions that we make but yourself. No one else deals with the heartache or new love of your life except you, so why not make the decision that effects you?
What happens when that person that you are trying to please or the one that makes decisions for is no longer around (death, you stop being friends, or they are out of contact), then what do you do? Become the captain of your fate, the new driver in your life and make your own moves.

Memories

I just had the best online converstaion with a friend about things we used to do, or people we have met, and feelings we used to share. Both of us are laughing hysterically. I loved it! It's great to walk down memory lane. Memories are bookmarks in the book of life. We all have memories that sometimes makes us cry and sometimes make us laugh. I thank God for me being able to remember the good and the bad because they remind of far I have come in life and when those sad moments arise, a good memory can always make me laugh. Memories mark turning points in life, record moments that a photograph cannot, and becoming learning lessons! I am so blessed to have so many good memories and I look forward to having some more memories to create and fill my life with.
