You are not what you were born, but what you have it in yourself to be.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker separates identity from the circumstances of birth and connects it instead with unrealized possibility. 'What you have it in yourself to be' puts emphasis on capacity rather than an inherited label. The contrast gives the statement its encouraging, defiant force.
