The Great Miracle of Life
by Napoleon Hill
The stars and planets, and the nebulous matter from which these were formed, are related to one another by nature's habits of fixation, operating through the Law of Cosmic Habitforce. Day and night, the seasons of the year, the law of balance, and every living thing except man, are bound by inexorable habits which make their movements and actions accurately predictable over long periods of time and far in advance of the happenings.
Man alone has been given the privilege of fixing his own earthly destiny, with the right to make it pleasant or unpleasant, successful, or unsuccessful, happy or unhappy, rich or poor, and his achievements are always unpredictable because his potential power is unlimited.
If man had but two more privileges than he now possesses he would be on an equal footing with the Creator; namely (1) the privilege of coming into the world at birth, of his own choice; and (2) the privilege of remaining among the living as long as he desires. Man has potential control over almost everything else, but alas, he rarely discovers the powers available to him or makes any attempt to use these powers for his own uplift, or to make this a better world.
For the most part, man settles down in a sort of tug-of-war struggle with forces which become unfriendly toward him because he does not understand them--forces such as the great miracles of life--and he gladly settles with life for a place to sleep, a little food to fill his belly and enough clothes to hide his nakedness.
