WE DECIDE WHAT WE BECOME.

We decide the kind of people we want to be, irrespective of our upbringing, our background and whatever was passed down to us, there's just a point where we get to decide and take responsibility of who we become.

I like how James Clear put it in his book, Atomic Habit, every action is a vote for the kind of person you want to be. This is to say that everything I do, is me choosing each day to become a certain kind of person, for instance if I tell myself that I want to do 50 press-up and then I stop at 30, I'm telling myself that it's okay to give up and overtime I'll become the kind of person that starts but doesn't follow through.

If I push the blame to everyone else but myself, by that action I'm choosing to become someone incapable of owning up to my shi, and that's what I'd become over time.

Now, why I agree that there're factors backing the way we behave at times, factors like upbringing and all, despite that, everyday we get to decide what traits stays and what we would intentionally outgrow. Either this or spend forever blaming our past for a future we're still actively creating.

Dearest reader, you may not be responsible for what shaped you, but you are responsible for who you become. So choose wisely, because every little action is shaping a future version of you.
