"Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves." -Julius Caesar, Act I Scene II
This is one of my favorite Shakespearian quotes. I have pondered often how blessed we are as human beings to have the gift of agency, the power to chose, in many ways, our fate. Too often we as mortals go about life in a reactionary mindset, an unintentional perspective that life just happens to us and we take what is given. If this is the case, why would Heavenly Father have bothered to give us agency in the first place? We are blessed to be able to chose our destiny ever day because of this priceless gift! Many things may happen to us that are beyond our control but our final destination is completely within our power. Are we choosing Celestial glory or eternal misery? Which direction are we facing-toward light or darkness? The choice is ours, so let us be masters of our fate and point our hearts and our feet towards the One who longs for us to return to Him.
