You are what exactly you resolve to be.

I've come to this realisation that whatever you're doing now, wherever you are right now, is a direct consequence of your decisions. Not your family's, not your boss's, but YOURS.
I've come to realize that what we decide on how our life will be, it ends up becoming like that. It may not always be the best, and we may not be happy, but it always is a consequence of our actions, which is a consequence of our plan to be something and somewhere in life.

I've come to realize that we can realize any dream of ours if we want, and the so-called barriers are just ways of settling for the much lesser than what we're capable of. Period.
