"This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live"

This quote by Omar N. Bradley talks to the concept that all of us have the power to make decisions in our lives. We are given one life and it depends on us to decide how we will live it. We can either await situations to make up our minds for us, or we can do something about it and live our lives to the maximum. This is true in both everyday life and in battle. We have the power to choose our own courses and make our own decisions. It is essential to bear in mind that we are in control of our own lives which we have the power to maximize it.
