Perseverance

I spend a lot of time, too much, wondering why we become who we are. Yes, it is life experience, how we were raised and many factors. But , a major part of how we become and mature into is by who we admire, which should turn into emulation.

I have been blessed to have many, many loving and kind people in my life, and they have helped shape me into what I am. Shaping of our minds and hearts should never stop, , as long as you wake up every morning, you make a choice to live gratefully or be bitter. People help play a role in what we become, but ultimately, the responsibility is ours. What comes out of our mouths is our control, what minds allow to think is entirely our control.

However, you emulate the wrong people, you are creating a more difficult path to better self control and awareness, a needless difficultly. Check on those people and see if are helping your journey to becoming better. Be around and watch those people that bring a smile to your face and make you feel encouraged.
