A beautiful quote by Henry Ford talking about focus and strategy to keep winning. We will naturally face many challenges on a daily basis. Even at this stage – we will have a choice – either to focus on the problem or the solution. A part of us wants to feel sad and sympathise, but that doesn’t give us the solution.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice

There are two approaches to destiny – a fatalist who believes that everything is up to luck and fate. It is a rather challenging way because this gives you very little control and even inspiration to work on your dreams. The other side is someone who goes after their goals with everything they got.
