Each and every one of us has our own experiences.
You are shaped by your environment, it may be your thinking, behavior, and the people around you.
You are the average of 5 people you spend your time with. Of course, this quote has a real meaning.
At the same time, you cannot blame the environment around you. You are responsible for being curious, exploring, and taking the path you really want because your belief system is going to be built around what you experience.
