Destiny

"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice.  It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan

What exactly does that mean?  I agree that destiny is choice.  One choice after another, but I have also found that sometimes waiting is called for.  It is similar, it seems, to pregnancy.  Sometimes we are called to wait upon circumstances.  The waiting may seem inactive, but actually much interior change can be occurring.
