By chance or by my choices - Which governs my life? My decisions mark the answer. I am the one to blame when I make all the wrong turns, but I bask in success knowing I have chosen the right paths that lead to happiness. I am responsible for who I am, what I say, where I go, all actions I take. I will not place my life in the hands of destiny, nor in fate, so overrated. I'll always believe that my life is ruled by choice.

Beautifully written Lin, I have for many years observed life and pondered many things and one of the facets of life that I have come to realize---Is that we have as many destinies as we have few choices. Perhaps I will write a poem to explain this. But I do like this inspirational piece Lin , it's a seven
