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.
