A Great American passed away on August 25th, but Senator John McCain left behind life lessons for all of us. Following is one of them that resonates with me:
“I DON’T BELIEVE IN DESTINY. WE ARE NOT BORN TO BECOME ONE THING OR ANOTHER, left to follow helplessly a course that was charted for us by some unseen hand, a mysterious alignment of the stars that pulls us in a certain direction, bestowing happiness on some and misfortune on others.”
― John McCain, Character Is Destiny: Inspiring Stories Every Young Person Should Know and Every Adult Should Remember
Regardless of your politics, if you believe in — and are dedicated to —our American Adventure, John McCain’s words are worth reading. They are words worth repeating. And they are words worth making part of how you live your life. Is it destiny’s choice, or will you make it yours?
Every day is a choice. Make yours matter!
