You are the master of your fate

[RawTruth]

YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE

While your character is formed by your circumstances,
your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances.
What is really ennobling in the doctrine of free will is the conviction that
you have the power over the formation of your own character.

Nature is at work around you.
Character and destiny are her handiwork.
She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.
You have the power to choose which impulses you will follow.

You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You are the master or your joys and your sorrows.
The greatest power you possess is the power to choose.

You are the master of your fate.
You are the captain of your soul.

Thank you for sharing this RawTruth! And how true it is! Circumstances can be hard but it is how we "take" it!

Fly forever free..

We too often forget these wise words....

May I also add that everyone makes mistakes, and we learn our greatest lessons from those? So rather than beat ourselves up over past mistakes we should BLESS those mistakes for their transforming power, learn from them, then move on, as Masters of our own Fate. I see a lot of people stuck only because they're ashamed of something in the past and don't believe they are worthy of anything different.

This wonderful post you've made reminds us that we CAN change course.
Thanks!

Yes, initially you can feel, for example, hate. (: you have hate)

That's no worry, because it is energy and energy is good.

The point is what you are gonna do with it?

If you begin to realize that what you are is the point and not what you have,
then hate doesn't have you, but you will have (read: control )hate.

But is some money-controlled societies this will take a long sit...
