Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are? The majority of people are shaped more by who they are. Family and cultural influences during childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood form patterns that merge deeply with mind and body. Later experiences may come, but they rarely change these ingrained behaviors. To change when situations demand it requires strong mental capacity—a rare but powerful quality. Yet there are a few who stand apart. With strict discipline and adaptability, they can reshape their views and beliefs when confronted with opposite experiences. We are molded early, yet tested later. Nature sets the frame, but experience strikes the hammer. Only those with discipline and strength can reshape the iron when life demands. 🌝 (Image source : Pixabay.)
