Most of us are not raised to actively encounter our destiny. We may not know that we have one. As children, we are seldom told we have a place in life that is uniquely ours alone. Instead, we are encouraged to believe that our life should somehow fulfill the expectations of others, that we will (or should) find our satisfactions as they have found theirs. Rather than being taugh to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others' versions of ourselves. We are brought up in our life as told to us by someone else! When we survey our lives, seeking to fulfill our creativity, we often see we had a dream that went glimmering because we believed, and those around us believed, that the dream was beyond our reach. Many of us would have been, or at least might have been, done, tried something, if.. If we had known who we really were. Julia Cameron
About This Quote

In this quote, William Shakespear is explaining that most people do not know who they are and what they want out of life. He states that we should not live with what others tell us to do and what we do not know the true meaning of the situation. We should not judge ourselves based on other people’s opinions or what other people believe in. Our lives are filled with a variety of different situations and a variety of things that we have done in our lives.

All people have one thing in common. They all have been through hard times and have overcome it.
