Daily Inspirational Quote December 28 2014
“I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
Anybody who remarks that life has not shaped them is fooling themselves. Life shapes us from the moment we first draw breath. The remarkable thing is that we are able, through our own actions, to absorb how and what we learn, how we relate to other people or situations, how we progress through our life path. We learn lessons along the way, some easily learned, some not so easily. Every action, every experience shapes us into who we choose to become. I say choose because we are, to a certain extent, masters of our own destinies, so it’s down to us what we retain and what we discard in order to grow into the best we can be in life.
