We would like to submit another in our series of Soon To Be Famous Quotes by our beloved founder, philosopher and occasional boy toy:
We are not all victims but are, each of us, the chief perpetrators of our own lives.
..............................................................................................................................John Bonus
Yes, we realize it is no "Carpe Diem" but he has been saying it a lot, lately, and we here at Escape Velocity's Corporate Headquarters are up for our annual review - so please read it again.

Too many like to blame others for their own failures in life and thus are doomed to continually failing. What ever happens to you in life is a result of the decisions that you make. If you look at your failures and ask yourself "What could I have done differently to change the outcome?",then you have a chance of eventually succeeding. Where as if you look for blame elswhere, you will never correct the problem and you have defeated yourself. You Johnny realize that and look how you have changed your life for the better.
Victim...never! Willing participant....always...that's what makes life so interesting!
Love all of your writing, John. Whatever is thrown at us every day has to be handled by us without blaming anyone else. Unfortunately, many years ago, something terrible happened to me and I had two choices: wallow in my sorrow or get back on the horse (P.S. I got back on my horse) Blaming someone else is just too easy but does not do anything for your own growth.
