I am not what has happened to me, I am who I choose to become.

I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

I elect to be…myself.

You're not your circumstances, you're not what happens to you, you're what you make of it.

I am the me I choose to be.

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be,

I am who I choose to be. I have always been what I chose, though not always what I pleased.

We are not the person other people wish we were. We are who we decide to be.

I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.

WE ALL create the person we become by our choices as we go through life. In a very real sense, by the time we are adult, we are the sum total of the choices we have made. This is not pleasant hearing for the person who wishes to place the responsibility for what he has become on someone else or on that blanket alibi, circumstances beyond his control. To such a person the circumstances always seem to be beyond his control. But I believe most firmly that in the long run every single one of us must be responsible for himself and for his actions.

It's not what's happening to you now or what's happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.

“I am not a product of my circumstances; I am a product of my decisions".

What you choose to do shapes the person you become.
