self-created
Born from within
Self-created means brought into being by oneself rather than by external forces or other agents.
The term applies to things you make or invent: a self-created business, self-created obstacles.
It can suggest admirable initiative or, conversely, problems of one's own making: Most of his troubles were self-created.
