We Make or Break Ourselves

 We Make or Break Ourselves

We make ourselves when we define who we are. We break ourselves when we try to fit into the definitions set by others.

We make ourselves when we realize that we are unique. We break ourselves when we start comparing ourselves to others.

We make ourselves when we are guided by our needs. We break ourselves when our greed rules us.

We make ourselves when we practice discipline. We break ourselves when indiscipline becomes our way of life.

We make ourselves when we earn a living through hard work. We break ourselves when we earn merely for the sake of accumulating wealth.

We make ourselves when we acknowledge that we don’t have all the answers. We break ourselves when we believe we know everything.

We make ourselves when we take ownership of our lives. We break ourselves when we shift the blame onto others.

We make ourselves when we live in the present. We break ourselves when we brood over the past or worry about the future.

We make ourselves when we spread love. We break ourselves when we propagate hate.

We are the architects of our own lives, and we have the power to break them, too. It all depends on our attitude toward ourselves and others.

The choice to make or break is ours. But remember, life is a one-time affair—there is no second chance to make it right.
