Take Control of Your Circumstances by Bob Proctor

I want to suggest that beginning today for the next thirty days, you attempt to take control over your circumstances.

George Bernard Shaw once said, People are always blaming circumstances for what they are; I don’t believe in circumstances, the people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can’t find them, they make them.

Millions of people are missing golden opportunities every day because they permit circumstances to stop them from accomplishing what they must accomplish to get what they want. Whenever you find yourself saying or thinking I would like to do this or that but I can’t because … understand that whatever follows the because is a circumstance and the moment you say those words you have given circumstance control over you.

The other day I was speaking with the executive officer in charge of a well-known sales organization. He explained they were fifteen percent behind quota for the year. When I asked him what they were going to do to make up for the shortfall, he quickly replied they would not be able to. He then began justifying his position.

Shun Fugimotto, a Japanese gymnast with a fractured leg in a plastic cast from his hip to his toe, was a gold medal winner at the Olympics in Montreal. He would not permit circumstances to keep him from realizing his dream.

In the 1950’s there was good reason why you could not fit a powerful computer in a briefcase. Someone would not accept that idea and today you can carry a computer in a briefcase.

High achievers make things happen because they will not permit circumstances to stop them.
