What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements. Anonymous
About This Quote

We all have a character. That character is what makes us different from one another. Whether we are a kind person or a cruel person, a man of honor or a man of lies, a person who loves life and one who hates life, this is all based on our character. The key to changing our character is to examine the way we have been formed.

The things people like and dislike in us come from our childhood and the attitudes we had when we were younger. We can change how we feel about things if we do the necessary research.
