Sometimes, things just happen and our destinies change in a heartbeat. The road we were on is blocked or broken. We either fight the change or embrace it through our choices.

The older one is, the more difficult the transition to a new path or even a new way of thinking is. Many prefer to stick to the broken path, but soon those broken pieces become obstacles. We are the makers of our own destiny, I would go as far as to say that, no matter what the change is, we oldies must adapt or sit back and rust!

Has anyone else noticed that whenever there is a meeting about independence or the constitution in general, the room is filled with people of a certain age?

We have lost the young people!

How do we catch their attention again, how can we convince them there is still a battle to be won? Is it a slow slog or a snappy slogan?

If only we could encourage the few young people we know to reach out to their own generation, it would be a start.

Can you look back and remember the day your political destiny changed and what changed it? And how many times has it changed since?

Destiny is not fixed forever by one event, it is fluid, like a river, and like a river it will carve out its own destination…There is always a destination and Independence is ours! Our determination is shown by our willingness to try and adapt.
