Circumstances - See Your Life As Being Rich With Opportunity

It is so easy to blame our life on circumstances. But if we are to manage change successful and take advantage of each and every opportunity then we need to stay awake and keep our eyes open. We need to see each situation as something that can benefit our lives and those we love and care about. Every occurrence should be seen as an opportunity to show off our best, that we may become more.

The alternative is to live with questions uncertainties and confusion. If that had not happened I would have done ‘x’. If only that had occurred then just think where I would have been now. I did not manage ‘y’ because of the fact that the situation worked against me. And where would this type of attitude get us - not very far I am afraid.

Why, oh why . . . ?

Why did all those things happen? Why did life conspire against me? I did not deserve that to happen, did I? Why does this always seem to happen to me?

I see that situations seem to work out for my friends, work colleagues, sports stars on TV – everyone apart from me? Oh woe is me . . .

I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me. Rabindranath Tagore


Are we so different?

Do we not all get our fair share of good fortune and bad luck.? Are we really getting such a raw deal? Nature and life would not have it any other way (and why should it).

So what are the situations that might affect the way we manage change?

What are these situations or occurrences that we have to deal with? That at times seem all too much, while other times seem all too easy to foresee or to handle . . .

  • coincidence happens more often than we might think
  • destiny is a big word - a whole subject of its own
  • it is all in the detail we hear ourselves or someone else say
  • which elements are relevant to us we might ask?
  • is it all down to the environment?
  • which factors affect us and our situations?
  • is it fate - or do we have more control than that?
  • what is happening to us - we have to know in order to act well and wisely
  • an incident only - nothing to worry that much about?
  • are all these occurrences an opportunity if grasped and run with?
  • what in particular is of concern to us in the current situation?
  • what is the point of the whole thing?
  • what position do we find ourselves in?
  • what is the state of play?

OR does it just come down to which side of the bed we got out of that day?

Each day is a different experience
something of wonder can leave us in a trance
thoughts and feelings never really mundane
the excitement of life, refreshing as a walk in the rain


What will we be considering on these webpages?

Which types of situations surrounding the changes in our lives should we are try to manage? What should we look at here?

  • will there be any circumstances quotes?
  • those things that are consistent with our life path
  • are they critical for progress or easily overcome?
  • is danger to ourselves or our quest a likely outcome and something to be avoided?
  • will we feel guilt depending upon our response?
  • does luck play a part in our experience?
  • will our mistakes come back to haunt us?
  • what will or might we have to sacrifice to reach our goal?

Several areas we could look at to better understand the opportunities that we are trying to manage when we facilitate change in our lives.

For all the sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!' John Greenleaf Whittler



Be in life completely straight
try to be prompt and never be late
lest you get too much on your plate
at times it's just great to start with a clean slate
