WE ARE CLAY

Added on August 13, 2013 by Jason Lam.

Growing up, we’re not given many choices. The family we have. The place we grow up. The ones who look down on us. And the ones who bring us up. Things just happen a certain way, and we turn out the way we do. We’re like clay that has yet to harden, sculpted by those around us whether we like it or not. If we are lucky enough, life finally gives us a good look at ourselves.

“So this is the person I’ve become?”

By this time, the clay has begun to harden, though there is still time to make some changes. Some people just let it be while others seize the opportunity.

One thing’s for sure, by the time the clay has finally set, the only way to make adjustments is to let it break.

Do you like the clay you’ve been molded into?
Or would you like to make some changes?

Maybe there’s still time to make some changes.
