Beating The Odds

In every endeavor and step I take I am beating the odds of the life that was destined for me

The trajectory that I chose could have been completely different and on the wrong road but I chose the road that I wanted to travel

The road that was more difficult to travel but the right road

I would rather travel this road than become something or someone that I do not want to become

I have chosen my own fate, my own destiny and my own ending like a samurai soldier committing seppuku with his own hands

For I would rather die an honorable death through the decisions I make then through the hands of a coward

For that reasons I stick to the virtues that were instilled in me from birth and those learnt from philosophers such as Confucius and Marcus Aurelius

The men of great wisdom and spiritual power that transcend their mortal existence
