"I am the mast of my fate; I am the captain of my own soul."
- Poet Willian Ernest Henley (1848 - 1903)
What a though provoking statement by Poet William Ernest Henley (1849–1903) who penned the words of his immortal Invictus (unconquered in Latin). He knew that he may be physically impaired, but he cannot use that as an excuse for not reaching his destiny, because, he had his mind, and from mind comes thoughts, from thoughts come ideas, from ideas come plans, from plans come action, from action comes results, from results comes progress, and eventually comes success.
It is quite comforting that we are in full control of our destiny, and only we can determine our limits. Considering all things we can control, it is never too late to work on our goals, perfect our social interactions, live a fulfilling and meaningful life now and times to come, and overall live at our fullest potential, so that as we near our golden age, we have absolutely no regrets and have explored all there was to explore, and nothing left behind.
