ourselves "victims", then we will teach that attitude to our little ones. It is extremely easy to believe

All of us have power over our circumstances, even though, initially, we may not believe so. Obviously, we were born with certain intellectual abilities, into a certain family, with certain physical abilities. However, none of those circumstances is the final word on who we are, even though, of course, they can present certain challenges to meeting our goals.
