Do You Control Your Circumstances or Do They Control You?
The consequences of circumstances in your life
How familiar are you with the seemingly ordinary, everyday word circumstance? Are you aware of the depth and breadth of its effects on and in our lives? Let’s ask and answer some questions to better understand the word and its impact.
For example, are we at the mercy of circumstances that occur out of the blue, or do we have some control and perhaps create them? Are circumstances good or bad, or neither good nor bad? Do they exist internally, externally, or both?
Do we have a choice, or are we stuck with life’s circumstances? What are necessary, extenuating, favorable, and unusual circumstances? If some circumstances are unusual, which are common?
This list of questions can go on and on because circumstances affect every area of life. Let’s see if we can come to a more straightforward conclusion about the concept of circumstances.
Circumstance defined
The word circumstance often describes something beyond our control, although it can mean far more. A circumstance can be practically anything that affects something else in life.
