    Think of a person who has faced a difficult childhood, filled with adversity and hardship. They could choose to let those experiences define them negatively, believing that they are destined to always struggle and be a victim of their past. However, they could use their experiences as motivation to grow and learn, and become a resilient and compassionate individual. In this case, they are not defined by their past but by the choices they make to overcome it and become the person they aspire to be.

      To be defined by your past means that the events, experiences, actions, or mistakes from your previous life or personal history strongly shape or influence your current identity, perception, or reputation. It suggests that your past plays a significant role in determining how others perceive you and how you perceive yourself.
      My point is, your past will define you, regardless of how you decide to live your life.

    Despite a challenging upbringing, one can either be consumed by past struggles, seeing themselves as perpetual victims, or leverage these trials for personal growth, fostering resilience and empathy. They aren't defined by their past, but by their determination to transcend it and shape their desired identity.

The complete lack of decency and the overwhelming expectations and entitlement. I pray for wisdom in trying to conquer the negative emotions these things stir up inside myself. Oh, and sneakers..I have a weakness for tennis's :(

    Criticism when done right is a very helpful way of looking at the subject. Because it helps you to see the subject in a different way. Sometimes a better way. So don't argue and hate the person just because they see something in a different way. I wish this was the way people delt with politics especially. Awesome video gave it a like and subbed.
