There is a general feeling amongst most of the people that we
are products of circumstances but that is not all true. Your birth and
upbringing surely are circumstantial and that does play an important role but
the course beyond is your own making. There is nothing permanent in life, everything
has a beginning and an end. The only thing constant is the change.
The surroundings, situations, environment, people and their
behaviour around us is never the same and keeps changing all the time. Just as
happy times do not last forever the difficult times also do have a time span
and change the course. Generally, we can’t change the circumstances but can always
change ourselves to deal with the same adequately.
Different people react differently in different circumstance,
few succumb to circumstances, most of them accept the circumstances as fait de
accompli and live their lives as it happens. Some leave it to the Gods or
others to bail them out. There are few who not only overcome but create growth
opportunities for themselves and others, in any given circumstance.
Be proactive, take the initiative and become a product of your
own choice and not a victim of circumstances, is the keyword. Whether in the
dump or in comfort zone don’t be happy with the status quo, act now for a
paradigm shift in your life. Become a responsible good human being, follow key
fundamental principles in each of your action plan to create circumstances.
Respect
Always respect the situations and your
abilities, identify what you can change and what you cannot, acknowledge the
opportunities available, focus on them and develop a plan to gain from the same
with full respect and self-esteem.
Understand
Fully understand the circumstances,
brainstorm potential ways to gain from them, have full knowledge of your
resources, do not hesitate to seek help from others to thoroughly analyse your
plan , comprehend various probabilities in implementation, ensure that you
sharpen your skills and get all the emotions positively to make the plan as effective
as possible.
Love
Love is the essence of life, act with
passion on your growth plan. Love being a verb apart from noun, demonstrate
that care and compassion in your action plan. Your commitment and focus will
help it to blossom well and embrace all effectively with a ripple effect.
Evolve
All of us have basic survival instincts and
genes to succeed, those who dream, dare and work towards their aims and
objectives rarely fail. Constantly Keep aligning your plan with ever changing
circumstances to grow spirally towards your objective. Always keep learning and evolving through this
continuous process of Respect, Understand, Love and Evolve.
Example: Lockdown due to Coronavirus
Few of us succumbed to the Lockdown out
of fear and conditions due to corona, few managed to survive the unforeseen
circumstances, a lot of us did nothing but just wasted our time, few of us used
the situation to work from home, upgrade the skills and pursued the hobbies to
either overcome the boredom, keep occupied and or prepare for tomorrow.
The good human beings chose the humanitarian
approach to volunteer as “Covid warriors”, to serve the distressed lot and responsible
folks used the opportunity to develop products, services, portals, apps, medicines,
supply chains, online classes & webinars etc to cater to the needs of the
situation thus creating circumstances for their growth with benefits to all.
It
is always your choice to be “ACTED UPON or ACT thus be “RULED” or “RULE”
