The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand
as in what direction we are moving.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes
This quote brings home a powerful thought, and it has to do with circumstances. Many people are dealing with difficult circumstances now and it’s important to remember that it can be a temporary situation. As long as we keep moving forward, things are certain to change.
Keeping things in perspective is helpful. I have mentioned before that a fear should be labeled a concern, as that allows for more objectivity. I also ask myself, “is this a blip or is it a catastrophe?” An earthquake, a war, a tsunami--those are catastrophic events. Suddenly our problems take on a different slant when compared with disasters.
Another empowering stance to take with circumstances is not to let them define you. You can be in tough times and still retain your integrity and control. Control can mean controlling your thoughts in the direction you want to go. See yourself as being lucky--suddenly things can take on a whole new dynamic and you’ll be opening yourself up to change in a most positive way.
