A thought

Sometimes we look at life as a strait line. Never veering from the path before us. We walk ever so carefully treading slow, so as not to fall from our destiny.
Is our life already written out for us?

Are the choices we make worthless, for our destination is always the same?

We are born, and we die, but in between we live

So why not live to shape our own future. Why not live that life, that gift we have been given, as if it is our own. We are given the chance to truly make our own future. It is in fact our life. Make every breath you take a tribute to the wondrous gift we are given just to be able to wake up every day. If you have nothing else to live for, be thankful for the opportunity to just do that, just live. Instead of looking away when challenge arises, take those hardships and turn them into opportunities to create your own path.

Give all that you have to your own individuality for in the end, when you take your last look at the legacy you created, will you be satisfied with the choices you made? Or will you look back and wish you had taken that chance? Will you wish you had not done what was planned out for you, and that you had taken that turn in your life that led you to the truly amazing person you can be?

Brilliant. Simply written but profound.
So many of us, me included, have not seized the chance when it was presented and come to regret it.

I love it, I agree with you, how sad would existance be if everyone felt that we don't have a choice, that all we are is chemicals? I think that free will and chosing is one of the most important things in life, I like to be spontaneus, living my life like it's multiple lines not just one!
