Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
I think things that happen around us shape our mind into developing and finding ways out of a problem and develop into something that we are today…!
I believe in the fact that if you grew up taking hits, blame for others, often being thrown under the bus or even neglected;
It made you feel that your life didn’t had meaning or you were born to take blame for others…!
And that shaped you into being precarious about things even someone who was approaching you with positive intentions—
It made you feel that the world was out to get you and that experiences shaped you to into being scared of any possibility of positivity coming your way…!
The same can be said the other way around if you grew up in a positive household,
Or people around who loved you and helped you grow and didn’t scold you at each mistake,
But told you how you were wrong and taught you how to correct your behaviour or not repeat the same mistake,
You grow up with a ray of positivity and that is what you reflect into this world and try to help someone who is down in the dumps all the time because that is what you experienced and that is what you turned into and now that is tho you are…!
There are many who walk on the fine line in between,
They are broken even though the people around them are positive and try to help them all the time,
But they are so much in love with the negative side that they cannot give it up,
And it has become their whole personality and that is what they resonate with…!
Then there are those who are taking hits each day but still try to walk with a smile on their face and the environment around them bends towards negativity but they don’t give up on it and still try to shine and glow amongst those around them and try to bring a wave of positive energy,
In a hope that someday the people who are around them might…!
But,
At the end I think,
Who we are shapes how we perceive things that becomes learning experiences in our lives…!
For example if you grew up in a calm household and there is happiness around you;
A stressful or a sad situation like G0d forbid someone passes away,
You feel even more emotional about it…!
But,
The same action can bring some ease into the mind of the person who takes care of the person who’s health deteriorated day by day until their passing away…!
How your mind developed into who you are today matters into creating how you perceive an experience and that in turn develops your character…!
So keep on living, experiencing and resonating positivity and be a ray of hope in someone’s sad life…!!!
Because I know you already are…!
