circumstances

self portrait, 2003, kodak tmax, nikon f3

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them.   -George Bernard Shaw

I recently came across this quote in a book I'm reading. For whatever reason it stuck...I can't seem to get it out of my mind. How many times have I let my circumstances dictate what happens to me.
