Circumstances happen; with or without any influence from us.
Life itself is a circumstance that happens.
I’m sure the night your dad and mum copulated, they might not have planned it.
They said the big bang was also a circumstance.
Man’s creation from the holy scripture was a result of a circumstance. I guess the creator and his board of elders became bored and decided to make something in their likeness.
Circumstances are bound to happen.
What we make of the circumstance determines how we stand out.
In the TV series, Peaky Blinders. A circumstance changed the lives of the Peaky Brothers.
They picked up the wrong shipment of guns (stolen) meant for the government. Guns meant for the war in Libya.
Instead of returning it out of fear of getting caught or killed. He used it as a stepping stone to more wealth and power. That’s Thomas Shelby, the protagonist of the TV series.
Instead of seeing it as a death trap, he saw it as an opportunity. We all know the man with the “atomic bomb” has all the power.
That’s why nations are fighting to own the best military power. A nuclear bomb. Everyone wants the title of a nuclear weapon state.
Thomas used the ammunition as a bargaining chip to become the man of his dreams.
From that very moment, he never stopped. He turned from being a gangster to becoming one of the most respected politicians in London.
Alright. I could have used a better scenario to explain this. But you get what I mean by turning your circumstances around.
Learn to master your circumstances and stand out as a winner.
Mastery comes from seeing a risk, seeing a problem and deciding to use the barricade as a stepping stone.
Stepping stone to a bigger goal.
I’ve heard stories and read about some of the great men who only became great after a terrible thing befell them.
Use your pain and problem as your motivation.
Learn to master your circumstances. See it through a different lens.
There is a scene from the TV series, The Fall of the House of Usher when he explained in-depth how to use a lemon.
You are already programmed to think of lemonade. There is more to having a lemon.
