“Only you have control of your mood. Not others. You control yourself. Not others. You make your own decisions. Not others. You have control.”
I think fate is like a river; you can allow the current to push you along and control where you end up or you can become a strong swimmer and swim against the current.
FATE
by Vashti Q
Your future’s not set
Our fate’s more vast than the sea
Forge your own outcome
Reach for that spark within you
And release your inner self

Excellent, Vashti. I alternate between going with the flow and swimming against the current. It depends on where my destination lies. Love the book cover 💕

Talk about reading but not registering … I even wondered why ‘Book Cover Reveal’ was above your name! Let me be an example for all those who think they can do without their reading glasses 🙂
