You Are Responsible For Who You Become
Author: Timothy Gwinn

You are not responsible for the background and circumstances that may have influenced who you are, but you are responsible for who you become.

As I have said before, “we need to learn from our mistakes.” Not only that, but we need to learn from others mistakes. All to often I hear people say, I was abused as a child, I come from a poor family, my spouse left me, my parents were alcoholics, I have been physically abused, etc. I am not making fun of these people, nor am I insinuating that these events were not significant. After all, I have had trauma in my past as have most people. Although, I will say this, there is nothing that we can do about the past. We can only change the impact of past events as it relates to our future. In many cases we may need to seek professional help. But at some point in time we are going to have to decide what to do with our past experiences.

I would say to at least do this: Put the past where it belongs, in the past. Also learn from those mistakes that others have made, and don’t let them happen to you. For example, almost 80% of people that come from alcoholic parents become alcoholics themselves. If this is you, for heavens sake don’t drink alcohol because you know what the impact of that action is. Get professional help if you have to and do whatever it takes to overcome you’re past experiences. Remember you are responsible for who you become.
