Obviously your circumstances can make it significantly easier or harder for you to succeed. But that’s all they do – make it easier or harder – they cannot propel you to success and they cannot hold you down.
There’s at least one thing that’s more important than your circumstances, and that’s your personal ownership.
Essentially there are two types of people in this respect – people who believe that things happen to them, and people who believe they make things happen.
If you believe that things happen to you, you’re likely to never improve the circumstances that you were born into. Simply because you believe that life happens to you so you’ll never make a real attempt at influencing your life, and you won’t achieve the success you crave.
But if you believe that you make things happen, then almost no matter how dire your circumstances, you’ll find a way to make it work.
So really, your circumstances matter as much as you let them matter. It’s up to you to own them, own your destiny, and become all that you can be.
Hope that helps
