Does anyone disagree with this? Does anyone think we are born ready made and rarin' to go?
Each of us are made up of the choices we make, and the reactions and responses we make to the events that happen around us.
Our every thought and every deed continually shapes who we are from the moment we are born until the moment that we die.
The choices/actions of today shape our future. They surely, do.
