I think its a combination of both. Too many people have risen from despair and become successful. Others have been blessed with riches, the right naturing and made a mess of things for themselves and others. "When life gives you lemons; make lemonade with it"!

Life is what you make it, but there are too often things that you don't have enough control over to really change. Like all of the people who are born into war or extreme poverty, racism or just ignorance. My limiting factor is health. I know what I could be doing, and how much more I could be giving, if it weren't for these problems.

I'm a stoic, so I think life is what you make it. You can look at the glass life has served you and either think, "Wow, it's half full! Look at all that Scotch!" or "This sucks! Look how empty this glass is!"
It's all about perspective.

I am grateful for the things and people that living has placed in my path.
However, I believe that life is what I make it. I choose my attitude, my responses, and my dreams.
Life puts many things in our paths... we have an opportunity to learn from them all - good and bad.

I think it is what you make of it. If you only concentrate on your own disadvantages then you will never get anywhere. We should learn from young children....you give them a toy in a box and they have more fun with the box.

LIfe is what you make of it!
Some have it easy; others must struggle thru adversity… BUT the fact is you are in control of your destiny…
if you choose to sit back and let things happen to you and accept whatever you are given... that is what you made of your life...

I think you can choose to have it either way. You can either make something of your life or be a victim by letting stuff happen to you.
