MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
Choices & Abilities
We all have talents and abilities, whether we are born with them or develop them as we grow through life. However, not everyone USES the abilities they are born with, and some become adept at things that were not immediately natural to them.
Some would say that one is defined by what they can DO. Others would argue that it is not what one CAN do that defines who they are, but what they actually DO.
We experience many things in life, and two individuals who have gone through the exact same thing and grown up the “same” way will NOT turn out the same. Because we all have CHOICES; free will to decide what we will and won’t do, whether we will be weak or strong, whether we will let our circumstances and experiences dictate what we are or whether we decide for ourselves who we become.
If we have a gift but never use it, can one say that that is what we are? We cannot, for it is our ACTIONS, not our potential that defines us.
