Perspective is Everything

We often point to external circumstances to justify how we feel, react and behave.


Twin boys with identical DNA and upbringing are forced to deal with their abusive alcoholic father. One brother becomes a poorly behaved alcoholic adult, and the other a generous, respected man.


Both point to the same reason for why they turned out the way they did:

"I watched my father."


We can't control much of what happens to us. How we choose to view what happened, and what we do as a result is under our control. Perspective is everything.
