What in the world would ever lead to me believe that life is a series of opportunities that are readily available to everyone else but me? What really leads me to believe such an atrocious lie is that I don’t believe in myself sufficiently to engage those opportunities in the first place. Craig D. Lounsbrough
About This Quote

I always have a hard time seeing myself as a victim of circumstances. I always try to find a way out, a way to make things work out for me. I feel like it’s my fault that things aren’t going well for me, but I don’t see how it’s my fault. In this quote, Shakespeare is saying that we look at our lives and see all the bad things that have happened to us, and it feels like there’s nothing we can do about them.

We think that there must be something wrong with us that we can’t get what we want. But, he says that this is not true. It is our fault that we are unhappy, but if we are unhappy then there is something wrong with the situation.

We can change that situation by changing ourselves, but it takes work.
