About This Quote
The only person to influence the direction and purpose of your life is the one who gave it. God! This quote from Robert Frost is a beautifully simple truth. The idea is that even though we may work hard and make a lot of mistakes in our lives, we are ultimately responsible for how we live them. Every decision we make shapes our future and leads us toward a certain goal.
Sometimes, that goal is to become successful, other times it is to become a better person, and sometimes it is to enjoy life fully. The idea here is that there are no miracles in life. We cannot rely on luck or some magical force to make things come together for us.
Instead, we must take charge of our own lives and use our own power to shape the course of our lives on earth.
