Quote of the Day --- "Our Past"

"I've come to learn that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become."
--J. Sakiya Sandifer--

I hear a lot of people talking about they are who they are because what they have gone through and they cannot change that. What we have gone through has very little to do with what our futures are and how we define ourselves. It is sad when people settle for a way of life or give in to their circumstances because of their past. We always have control of who we are and what we become, if we feel that we do not have that control. It is no one's fault, but our own.
