“Adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up because they are looking for ideas” (Paula Poundstone). As kids we know that if we can imagine something, than we can make it happen. We know that if we want something, than it’s our own decisions and wishes that make the dreams turn in to reality. Each choice carries a consequence, for better or for worse, so it’s not destiny that maneuvers our of life, it’s the repercussions of our own decisions, decisions that we make on our choice of attitude.
As Christians we learn that free choice is the greatest gift God gave to his children, a freedom to become and fulfill any desire and dream that one may have. So it is for us to find out that we are only limited by ourselves, that only we are our limit and that we have the power and ability to forge our own destiny. We cannot change our past… We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way, but we have the possibility to shape the outcome of the things that we do today.
If we were to think that everything was preestablished than what would be the use of living on a path that was established before us a long time ago? What would make life so spectacular and interesting? What would make you wake up in the morning if it where not for the surprise of the inevitable and the new beginnings that will dawn on you? I say this : come what ever may, and by this I only understand that everything that will be done I would be the one that made it happen and there will be no regret, for I made the decision.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved. ( W.J. Bryant)
