A few weeks ago, I read an interesting post by Joseph Kelly on the phrase; “We are our Experiences”. Joseph’s post definitely made me search for the true meaning on that phrase. As Joseph recognized and stated, people often accept things the way they are, or make excuses for things that happen to them, by believing “thats just the way I am” or based on their past they are the way they are today and cannot change that.

Agreeing with Joseph that our past experiences may influence they way we perceive, judge, and view the present, but we also have the power to choose the next experiences. We still have the choice to choose a different path or make a different decision against the trends of our past.

Its too easy for an obese guy to settle for the Big Mac instead of trying out a salad, simply because he can make the pathetic claim that thats just they way he is, has always eaten that way, and can’t change. Our past experiences do make us what we are today, but that never means you have to settle for that.

So my concluding thought is; Although we may be our past experiences, we have the choice to create the next experiences.
