The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
This was my status on facebook Monday morning of this week, I love this quote, a friend sent it to me and i thought i must use it, its so true!!!
I used to be a big believer in fate..you know, what was meant to be and all that, then I woke up a while back and said to myself, I don't think I like someone else mapping my life out for me, I mean, when its my time to leave this world I'm probably not going to have much to say about that but what about decisions I make that affect me or my family or my friends, what positions I put myself in that could affect the daily routines even the lives of others!! WOW...that's something to think about isn't it!!
I dont want to leave it to chance and just drift in life because I don't really have any control over where my life is heading!...OF COURSE I HAVE CONTROL!! Its my life after all! I have a heavy load to bear its not just about me, it my family and friends, I have to take all of that into consideration, I'm sure we all have the same sort of responsibilities or at least similar!
Before you say, you could walk out of the road and get hit by a bus, which is the normal thing most people would say...well in fact your WRONG! whether it be a lapse of concentration or just not taking any notice, or rushing from one place to another it is normally this that decides our so called fate! Not just because our life is mapped out for us! Its NOT! Its in the choices we make, the food we eat, the fluid we put into our body, our environment, exercise...etc,etc
When Im teaching I tell everyone (mostly the kids) that they can do anything, achieve anything, be someone, it just takes dedication, perseverance and a lot of will power...with a sprinkling of reality thrown in for good measure!
Dont let someone or something dictate your life for you, reach for the stars!!
Have a great day everyone!!
