Don't be a victim of your circumstances


Life as a whole requires attention to many areas that entails a proactive undertaking on our part to make them work in a way that fulfills us. Otherwise, you’ll reluctantly bear whatever comes your way while believing you don’t have a choice. And in the aftermath, you’ll complain about the way in which your boss treats you, how you don’t like your job, how your relationships don’t match your expectations, and the list of whatever weighs on you can go on and on from there. 

But here’s the thing. You don’t always get to choose your circumstances. You choose how you react to them. But wait. That means, you’ve always done what you want. And sure, what you’ve obtained so far may not be completely aligned with what you wish for. But this realization opens up another path: “I may not be satisfied with where I’m at the moment. But the future holds a positive alternative that is subjected to every choice I make right now”

Maybe you’ve committed your energy to advance your career and have neglected nurturing deep relationships and feel alone at the moment. Maybe you’ve invested yourself in a toxic relationship that affected all of your other life areas. Maybe you’ve got most of your life going for you, but deep down you feel that you’re lacking something. So I’d say it’s high time to figure out where you stand, and know what you want out of your life for you to be fulfilled.
