I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving, ' and then you do it. Leo Buscaglia
About This Quote

The quote above is referring to the idea that we can control our destiny if we believe we can and we persist in our efforts to make it happen. I think this is true and I think we should all try to live up to this principle. We may not always succeed, but at least we will know that we really tried and that is a victory in and of itself.
