"Who are you? I am who I choose to be" - Sidney Poitier

"I am who I choose to be" - really? (haha)

Of course, I am who I choose to be. Life is a journey full of choices. Even as a newborn, if I was fed something to my dislike, it was my choice to spit or swallow (haha - I know - distasteful choice of phrasing). At every moment, we make a choice towards one particular action over another. Choices form who we become and who we will be. This is not to disregard the arguments of fate and/or events that are beyond our control. However, presented with any situation, it is our choice to decide how to deal with the situation. Some choices we make without too much thoughts but some choices we lament over for too long. After a course of action has been chosen, there is no going back - but, going forward, there are choices that can be taken to change the course of action. Choices, choices, choices - small or big - they mold us to who we are at the moment.

If I get to choose who I become, shouldn't I feel as if I have more control of my path in life?
