Life Is What You Make It

Everyone has heard the saying, "Life Is What You Make Of It!" and although that sounds like easy work, it definitely isn't. Although, life is in fact what you make it, often times we allow life itself to make us and or define us. If you know me, then you have heard me say time and time again that YOU ARE NOT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES!! What I mean by that is this.... We will experience many things in this journey called life, however those very experiences don't have to define who we are. They can in fact help to shape us, however how they shape us is up to the individual. For example, someone who was born into poverty and lived in poverty during their childhood, doesn't have to remain in that same poverty. (If that makes sense) Look at it like this.... The athlete who lives in the impoverished society and strives to get out by playing sports to create a better opportunity for himself and his family. Or the individual who has dreams of going to college, while knowing that his parents can't afford it, so they work to either get an athletic scholarship and/or even academic scholarship to make that possible. These two examples are circumstances that have the power to change based on how the individual perceives the situation and then responds to it. You have the choice to allow your circumstance to define you or push you to want more, want different, or just want better. 
It's important that we all understand that we have choices and even when we decide to NOT CHOOSE, that in itself is a choice. Always remember where your true Power lies. It has always been within you.
