Facade

You are what you pretend to be.  Play a role for a long enough period of time and you ultimately become that person.  Remember, you are not an automaton that was factory-built and pre-programmed to behave in only one fashion.  Your brain is plastic, your personality is plastic, your usage of time is plastic……your future is plastic.  Yes, your future is whatever you want to make of it, because you can reinvent yourself in an instant and subsequently beeline off in a totally new direction any time you feel the urge.  Don’t blame anyone else for the failures in your life; there is one—And only one!!—captain of your ship, and that is the person you look at every morning in the bathroom mirror while you’re flossing your teeth.  Now…..whether you genuinely like that person staring back at you is a different issue altogether.
