Circumstances
Circumstances… What are they, anyway? Do they define who we are? Do they define our destiny? Do they control where and what we want to be? Or, they are just excuses in our mind not to do things we want to do?
There might be infinite circumstances (illness, financial problems, dysfunctional family, bad relationships, unfair work environment, difficult childhood, etc., etc.) that seemingly we cannot control. We go about life blaming our circumstances that we cannot achieve things we want to achieve.
We do not realize that all this is just voluntary blocks we put on our dreams. They are just excuses. It is so easy to blame our life’s circumstances. It seems so reasonable.
We all have our minds, right? So, why we let circumstances to control us instead we control our circumstances?
A few examples of people who despite very difficult times, achieved unbelievable are: Christopher Reeve, Oprah Winfrey, Coco Chanel, Ed Roberts, Chris Gardner.
