How our Circumstances Affect Us

by Bushteens

A number of individuals seem doomed to be subsumed by their circumstances. For the most part, one can almost always predict with accuracy that young people living in impoverished areas will amount to very little if anything at all. To what extent do our circumstances affect how we turn out? The answer is, well it depends. It depends ultimately on your will and determination. Yes, it would be a little easier if you had the support of your family and community but often times you need to go at it alone. A number of people, however, get bogged down by their circumstances and let them control their path in life. The ones who truly succeed are those who do not see obstacles but search for opportunities and solutions.
