Invictus

February 27, 2010

Kirstie Alley recently appeared on Oprah, and mentioned Invictus, an inspiring poem that reminded her to be the “master of her soul.” I thought it would be great to share as it’s a good reminder to take charge and find your inner strength while facing life’s curve balls. Enjoy!

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley
