When is the last time you did something because you wanted to do it. When is the last time you took the baby steps towards a goal or venture without thinking how the world would look at you? When is the last time you just did something because you simply wanted to do it? When is the last time you did something your way and on your terms?
Life is no dress-rehearsal, time never comes back once it passes us by; and yet millions of people float through life being controlled by others and by circumstances. They leave their lives at the mercy of forces other than their wills. All they do is live in a blur of hope that things will tun out well and somehow these forces will be gracious enough to grant them a good life. They live as slaves with fear-chains on their feet and hands in the detention camp called their bodies.
Forget not that you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul, and that all things in your universe are within your control. As the captain and master, all you need to do is reassert your authority by doing the little things the way you want them done, by living life at the pace of your choosing, and by deliberately directing your life towards the direction you want it to go.
It may be hard or difficult, it may be slow and a little bit uncomfortable, but after it's all said and done, at least you did it your way. There's no greater satisfaction in heaven or on earth! http://poetrymyway.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-like-my-own-way.html
