Are You The Captain Of Your Soul?

As you reflect on the year that is coming to a close, and make plans for the new one, ask yourself, in all honesty, are you the captain of your soul. 

William Ernest Henley says:

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 

 

 

Merry Christmas to one and all!
