The Bullet of Creative Circumstances: Recognizing the Problem
Part 1 of 4

Most of us make the frustrating and non-productive mistake of fighting our circumstances rather than using them creatively. I have know scores of people (I’ve not escaped the trap myself) who allow themselves to be depressed, discouraged and unhappy simply because of negative circumstances.

Let’s face it, we’ll never escape or change circumstances (from the Latin, “the things that stand around”). If you are surrounded by critical, negative people you have to realize that most probably they will not change to fit your ideas. Their prime purpose of existence isn’t to make you happy! Before one tries to change his circumstances he had better try to change himself! In fact, the only immediate control one has over bad circumstances is to instantly change himself by using the circumstances creatively and constructively.
