I think instead that we can act only within the limits of the gifts nature gave us at birth…

Answer from Master Kosen

I am no supporter of fatalism; I find that attitude cowardly and weak. We must give ourselves our own gifts. We are here to fight and develop our lives, knowledge, power, love, and faith; change our faults and shortcomings; broaden our consciousness; do what we thought impossible; win victories over ourselves; help the world evolve with us; know the unknown; grow; expand our limits; transform ourselves; make the impossible possible.
That is what I call life, and I love life.
