What would your life look like filled with Extraordinary Circumstances?
Would you be at peace? Wealthy? Fulfilling on your passion daily? What would your circumstances be? Now before we go further, let’s clear up a misconception about “circumstances.” When we usually hear that word we look at it as something that we don’t want or care for. You will hear people often say “well, I have certain circumstances that will not allow me to do that.” Or my favorite is “due to certain circumstances, this will not happen.”
So let’s get clear about the definition.
Circumstances
-
A fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action.
Does it say ANYWHERE in that definition that circumstances are horrible and bleak?
Pay attention to your language as well as others when circumstances are spoken about. When someone says the word circumstances and throws certain in front of it, that person is speaking from a less than favorable perspective because they feel that circumstances are negative.
So what if circumstances could be anything you make them, including Extraordinary?
You can easily shift from the negative perspective of circumstances to Extraordinary Circumstances. Here’s how.
Get Clear About What Your Ideal Extraordinary Circumstances
Let’s say that you are currently in a financial situation that is far from what you see as Extraordinary Circumstances. You are very clear about the unfavorable circumstances and you are clear about what it is that you DON’T want. For some this may appear a bit dismal, but I want you to look at it this way. The moment you are clear about what you don’t want, you easily become clearer about what you DO want.
Given that information and that you know what you don’t want, look at your circumstances and determine in that particular area or areas of life what would be your ideal or as I like to call it Extraordinary Circumstances. This my friends is the first step in shifting your life to one that would be proud of.
Now some of you may be saying “well yeah A’ric, but you don’t know what I’ve been through.” I agree, you are right and it is probably best that I don’t know what you’ve been through because I want to be a Champion to your Present and Future, which leads me to the next step which is . . .
Forgiveness is key in Creating Extraordinary Circumstances
Many of us have made it through the first step of knowing what we want, however, we get stuck because of some past hurt or past failure. Ladies & Gents, many of you now have heard the past is the past and there is nothing you can do about it. Some of you reading this have heard it and grasp it but you are still stuck.
Your access to getting unstuck is Forgiveness. For some, it maybe forgiving someone who put them in this current circumstance such as divorce, abandonment, or maybe even a grudge being held. Then for some of you it maybe that you did something that you were not proud of and you have not come up with the compassion for yourself to allow forgiveness.
Creating Extraordinary Circumstances can only work if you feel that you deserve it. Some of you feel you don’t deserve because there is some forgiveness that needs to happen in your life. So what do I recommend? Get on the phone, Skype the person, or send an email to that person you need to get closure with. OR sit down and write a letter to yourself asking for forgiveness and forgiving you. You deserve this amazing life along with the circumstances to go along with it. The last thing is . . .
Know Your Comfort Zone If Your Deadly Zone
Yep, I had to go there. In order to create Extraordinary Circumstances, you are going to have to do something that you’ve never done to get what you have never gotten. What that really means is you are going to have to break out of your comfort zone. If you are feeling comfortable without some type of edge, RED ALERT! DANGER WILL ROBBINS! This is your deadly zone.
But that is Great News! Why? Because now you have a gauge that you have access to 24 hours and 7 days a week. You don’t have to get up and turn it on like your coffee pot, it’s just there, you feel it. You know when you are in the deadly zone when you are feeling comfortable and not challenged. Taking risks and doing something different is an amazing adventure and journey to your New Life & New Circumstances.
So there you go three things that will have your create Extraordinary Circumstances that will have you creating an amazing life everyday, so I say to you CHEERS!
