DONT FOLLOW THE BEATEN PATH

Yeah…anybody can follow the beaten path. It takes real spirit and an indomitable will to follow your own path in life!
This reminds me of a poem that I live my life by called Invictus, a Navy Seal team made it their class motto at graduation:INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley

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.
