Circumstances and Fate in An Active Light. “If only this would be like that,” “If the situation would just break this way.” “What we need to have is the stars align yeah that will make everything right.” Well, there’s the crux of the situation.
There’s the crux of the circumstances and fate. Standing around and asking for things to change, be this way or maybe if we just change this way. That’s like asking the stars to align. The chances of the star shifting in the sky to meet your needs is just unlikely. In fact, it’s not going to happen.
Coaching Into The Circumstances
There was an old football coach by the name of Chuck Knox. Knox was a pro football coach who grew up in Pennsylvania. Describing Knox as a straight forward person is correct. One time as he laid out the plans for the next game, the press started asking about the injuries on the team. How the injuries were going to impact the upcoming game and he said this. “You have to play the cards you’re dealt.”
That is an understanding of reality. This is what is happening and realizing the situation that is presenting. The circumstances and the fate over many injuries on your sports team in this case.
You do have to adjust you have to address and you have to move towards the goal. Even if crushing of your business . Crushed by circumstances beyond your grasp, adjust the best you can and move forward.
Seeing The Real World
The key is to see yourself in the situation for what it is and then take action. It is useless standing around wringing your hands. Fretting about the circumstances and fate.
Well, guess what? Circumstances and fate are non-negotiable. These are elements of life and they must be dealt with for what they are. They are unwelcome as they define the terms of your situation. Yes, they are unwelcome and they are defining. Now just like coach Knox said, “You have to play the cards you are dealt.” Yeah, circumstances and fate in an active light.
