Observing others’

Circumstances

English Practicing Teacher

ByMiss Carmelle Dawn Laurente Vasay

How are going to define circumstances in your own words?

Circumstances are any happening, fact, event and conditions surrounding and affecting a person or a situation.

Example: A circumstance is when you

are very poor.

When You Can’t Change Your Circumstances, Change

Yourself

The way you choose to interpret your experiences determines the way you live your life.

Choose among the three:

•Egg

•Carrot

•Coffee Bean

When you are bombarded with pressure, pain and series of circumstances, what will you do?

a egg boiled symbolizes a person that appears not to change but whose heart is hardened

a boiled coffee bean symbolizes a person that could change the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, your very attitude will change your environment for the better, making it sweet and palatable.

a boiled carrot symbolizes a person that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, becomes soft and loses strength.

What are you going to do with your circumstances?

Accepting Your Circumstances Can Help You Find Something Better

Don’t let your circumstances today determine what’s possible tomorrow!

Have Faith and say, I won’t care about the BIG problems I will have as long as I have a great GOD.!

Your Choices and Actions Will Determine What’s Possible  • You may not be in control of the

circumstances,  but you are in complete control of the actions you take.

• Each step you take in the direction of a goal or a dream will reveal new possibilities that you were unaware of before.

Don’t let other people determine your future.

• How you get there doesn’t really Matter

• Many people will criticize the choices you make on the path to pursuing your dreams. 

• Don’t live your life according to other people’s expectations. They are not the ones who are going to live with the consequences of your actions.

Knowing our priorities and learning to sacrifice.

• Getting what you really want out of life is about what you’re willing to give up as it is about what you’re willing to do.

• “Sacrifices must be made on the path” .

• The memories of your struggles, your uphill battles and miserable journey are fleeting.

• Once you passes them , just look forward and remember that your circumstances today don’t determine what’s possible tomorrow.

“Our circumstances" really don't matter in life except for one purpose! They are a place where we can learn to talk with God and simply trust in God, however difficult that may be.

•“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge [know, not just know about] Him, And He shall direct your paths.”   Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

Do you know someone who really had a hard situation? How did s/he deal with it?

In reality, if you knew someone who really have a hard situation how are you going to deal with it?
