The way you were raised dertimines the future.


Our future is determined by the environment we grew under. This is because everything we attract in our life is based on our beliefs. Our beliefs create repetitive patterns. If we don't believe we are worthy, then we will continue to attract situations in our life that reinforces our belief about not being worthy. If on the other hand we believe that we are successful and attractive, then we will continue to attract experiences in our life that reinforces our belief about our beauty and achievements.

However, its not about how we grew up,  how much luck we have, or how many degrees we have.We have the mind, we know what's wrong and right and ultimately determine our future.  No matter the obstacles  in the way we were raised, determination and a passion to do better will always help us overcome the repetitive patterns more especially if they are bad. For example; A 43 year old homeless man of Cape Town, Stephen who was handling sangoma pamphlets for only R50.00 a day became Benz model. The man used to sleep in the streets since childhood and after his lucky break, he became R10 000.00 rich. Stephen proudly said "from something negative, we always tend to get an even better positive outcome."

 In reality, we cant escape or ignore the way we were raised: we can't get around it, we can't go over it, we can't go under it, it always follows us like a shadow. Simultaneously, We always have one choice and one choice only: It is to deal with the details accordingly.
