Conquer

Read: "But you see, just becuase we've been ...dealt a certain hand...it doesn't mean that we can't choose to rise above-to conquer the boundaries of a destiny that none of us wanted. To try to retain whatever essential humanity we can."
...TWILIGHT! (yeah I'm a fan too :P)

Ponder: Do you ever think about fate; destiny? The belief that your life is already laid out and choosen for you; to me that seems depressingly final. But to be able to change your path, to become whoever you want to be? Who doesn't want that? But is the ability to "rise above-to conquer the boundaries of a destiny" a realitiy we can make for ourselves?

Pursue: What if life is both, both our destiny and our choices? Is it possible for them to coexist? Just because you've been "dealt a certain hand" doesn't mean you have to live with it. Change it, change yourself. To believe that you cannot change your own fate is to give up. Believe in yourself, believe in your strength because the hand you've been dealt (your destiny) isn't set in stone and you DO have the power to change it.
