I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think all of us are shaped by the choices we make.
We are people in circumstances who make choices that we think are right at the time.
You never choose the way that you're raised, it's just the way that you were raised, but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.
It seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency.
Sometimes, people aren't as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
I understand people have preconceived notions of who I am or what I do.
I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.
We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice.
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.'
