Truth

It's not the circumstances that determine who you're going to be. Whatever you're going through in life does not make you who you are. The things that happen in your life that you can not control can not define you. My current situation is like that. Completely out of my control. The thing that is good, is that not only do I have basically hoards of people behind me, but the situation can not define who I am. Nothing that you can't control defines who you are going to be. The flip side is, it can't define you, if you don't let it. If you allow those things to define you, then it will. You can't let those things define you. The reason that things you can control define you is because you have to make a choice when dealing with those things, just like you have a choice to let the uncontrollable things define you. You don't have a choice on whether controllable things define you or not, but you do have a choice on how it defines you. If you choose to do the stupid decision, you define yourself in that. If your choice is to either play football, or to play soccer, if they are in the same season, your choice defines you. It makes a difference, no matter what. How it defines you is how you choose. Just like with the Sorting Hat in Harry Potter, when it places you in a house, you are defined by the "codes" of that house, or how it carries itself. Your house is chosen by you as well. You make that decision, like Harry made that decision. If you choose football, you will be defined as a muscle-head, or a total jock. If you choose soccer, you will be defined by some as a "Field fairy", or something. The point is, when something is in your control, you will be labeled. The choice is yours, which label do you want?
