Becoming yourself Quote by Anonymous
“The future is what we make of it, not what someone says it will be. Our lives are not pre-destined by fate, or set down in a book, or determined by a set of cultural rules, animal signs, or movement of the stars. The future is not written for us...we must write it well.”
