Do you control your own fate, or do you let the forces that be decide your fate for you?  Did you try to achieve something, fail, and just give up and decide, this is not my fate?  It’s time to take control of your fate and do the things that you want to do.

My fate is their fault!
I often hear people blaming supernatural forces like God, society, or even their parents for the way their life is going.  Blaming these three things is like saying that your fate was set the day you were born. W.E. Henley said: “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul”.

Take control of your fate
If you just drift along, certainly it’s easier to blame everyone other than yourself for your crappy life.  Rather than blaming everyone, why not find ways that you yourself can help the situation rather than relying on everyone else to do it for you.

Brad Pitt, the Chicken Man
Yes, almost everyone knows the name, but how did Brad Pitt became such a big actor?  Did someone just say “Hey Brad want to be big?”  No, certainly not, he had to work for it.  Brad Pitt majored in journalism at the University of Missouri, but dropped out when he decided to become an actor. As a struggling actor, he worked as a refrigerator deliveryman, limo driver, and wore a chicken suit to promote El Pollo Loco, a chain of Mexican restaurants.

If you want something, find a way to get it!  Don’t let the forces at be step over you… Everyone struggles, but in the end the reward is much sweeter!
