Heredity or Environment?

I've been wondering about this a lot lately. Is it our environment or our heredity that predicts our future. I have met countless people who have come from a heredity backround that is awlful and have made wonderful strides in their lives. On the other hand, I had met many people who have come from horrible environments and have struggled to survive in this life. I myself believe it is a combination of the two. If we come from a good heredity it helps us deal with the bad environment. If we come from a bad heredic backround sometimes the best of environments cannot help us. I have found in my work that if I can help improve the environment of my clients then they can overcome almost any herditary backround. As adults we can make choices we cannot make as children. We can make choices that empower us rather than ones that diminish us. Hereditary does play a role in who we are and who we become but after a certain point it does come down to the choices we make as adults. We can blame our parents and our hereditary for forever but bottom line it comes down to the choices we make. So my challenge for you today is; What choices are you going to make today that break the hereditary cycle and get you moving onto the path of healing?
