Yes, we are the ones that write our own story time and time again. If we stay true to ourselves following our own souls leading and do not succumb to outside influences, we will indeed enjoy a much more fulfilling life. Being accountable for one's own actions is so important. I believe we have to stop blaming others for situations that arise in our lives when we clearly have not written the story in detail for what we want.

This was a wonderful post @denmarkguy, well said!
