The people around you are what make you who you are.

Your life is surrounded by things you cannot control, or can you? You choose your friends, you choose where to eat, you choose what you drink, you choose what you wear, you choose.

Where do these choices come from? Are they wired into your brain at birth, given by your parents, or perhaps through life experiences themselves?

When you are born, you do not know about clothes, food, drinks, cars, work, money, nothing. You are a clean slate, the white canvas, empty pages of a book that is yet to be written.

It is throughout your life with the people around you, parents, friends, constituents, that chalk is applied, colors of paint mixed, and sentences are formed from the words of your life.

So when you question your situation, what more could you be doing, what makes you happy, where are you going? Consider the people around you as the first place to look, so you truly know who you are. Once that question is answered, all your choices become clear.
