I love this deep thinking quote. If you are not happy with the way your life is right now, take a look at your past choices that you have made and realize that life came out the way it did because of what choices you made.
If you are unhappy with your life right now then start making different choices to make it the way you want it to be.
Blaming others for how your life turned out will not fix anything. Ultimately you have to take responsibility for your actions and how your life turned out from your actions. Making excuses like my parents were a bad influence or I never had enough money will not cut it.
But what if you were raped by your father as a child and you couldn’t prevent it? Yes, that can have quite an effect on someone. But how you react to it is your choice and will pave a path on how your life will end up. Some kill their rapist and end up in jail, some report them to the cops and they end up in jail. Some do not have the immediate emotional support they need when their mother will not help. Then they would have to talk to their school or someone who will listen.
Life will have tough choices but the choices you make will ultimately create your life.
