I am the master of my fate.

Trying to find the motivation to do what needs to be done. It seems that for over a year I have been dealing with this same issue. I know what changes need to be made. I just need to change them. I shall wake up tomorrow and try again...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


Invictus by William Ernest Henley
