I was writing in my journal and I started questioning why I thought I was a victim.
After a few minutes I realised that I wasn’t a victim.
I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul.
I first learnt this phrase from the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. This line is originally from the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley.
So the question is –
So what? I am the master of my fate and the captain of my soul? I already know it, you might ask.
Well yes you already know it.
But in my case I have problems in life and I was blaming them and staying stuck in life.
We also do the same unknowingly of course.
We blame our circumstances and our family and our personality and focus on our weaknesses.
But what if we focus on our strengths and the positive sides of our lives?
We will realise that we’re not a victim.
I think we know we’re not a victim but we fall into the trap of thinking the opposite regularly when faced with problems which we find difficult to solve.
So we need to recharge ourselves by socializing, talking to friends and meeting positive people, read positive books and having fun.
I just wanted to remind you that you’re not a victim but the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.
I’m glad you read this. Thanks a lot!
