Circumstances Don’t Change

Don’t allow circumstances in your dreams or real-life change you. Don’t become what you are not. Don’t become a different person because something happened. Don’t allow foreign forces to change you. You are who you were made to be. And you don’t need to apologize. Just because some people somewhere thought you don’t deserve. Does not mean you change yourself. Don’t shrink to justify a lie. Circumstances cannot determine how you live your life. You determine how you live your life. The mere fact that situations around you have changed. Does not mean you also change. Just because foreign forces are trying to change your life does not mean you bow. You know you. And you also understand how you live your life. Don’t tolerate uncomfortable situations. Changes that are ill-intentioned. Changes that are not natural. Changes that are forced unto you. Don’t accept them.  

You are not those people. You were not made by those people. They found you that way. And you were having a wonderful time until they started being idle. And failed to direct their own lives and started watching you. And realized that you are nothing like them. That you operate with a higher sense of wisdom. Something they don’t have. Those people think that all people are the same. They think that since they have normalized mediocrity. That everyone else is a mediocre. And when you did not fit into their expectations. They thought that you needed to be managed. So schemes have been initiated to disrupt your life. You cannot be different in the same environment. You cannot enjoy your life in peace. Because those people are pissed. And they have vowed to interfere with everything that they think make you.

Circumstances can only be what they are. Circumstances. And nothing more. But you are the boss. The chief of your own life. Not forced circumstances. Get yourself in charge. Stop wobbling because something unusual happened. And it was terrible. The unusual circumstance was eying to upend everything you know. To attack your being. To steal your identity. To confuse you. So that you will start doubting. And while in that state of confusion. The foreign forces will attack. Because they have found their perfect environment. And they will ensure that they create a mess out of you. You will no longer meet simple things that you used to meet effortlessly. But you have noticed that something has changed around here. You are not your normal self. And you don’t live that way. You don’t struggle with simple responsibilities. You don’t behave that way. So don’t curtsy to those people. Don’t entertain foreign forces that have come to steal from you. Confront them.

Chase them away. Circumstances will not dictate how things happen in your life. And people too cannot determine how you live your life. Become your own person. Become you. Be you. Do everything that is you without fear or favor. The idle people don’t know what they are doing. They only heard that there are foreign forces that can change something. And they are acting in ignorance. They are making decisions with a false narrative. They don’t know you. They only have rumors about you. And they are the mediocre ones. So they think they got you. And that you will dance to their music. But they are wrong. You are you. And you will stick with what made you. You will stick with your wisdom. You will remain with your solution-oriented mindset. Don’t sit on problems. Solve problems. Get to the underlying causes of the unusual events. Interrogate everything.

Don’t leave one stone unturned. Identify when things started changing. Connect the dots. And take notice of your environment. Often times, the cause is just within. You only need to look. Because after all, you live with normal human beings. And sometimes, human beings have ideas. Ideas that destroy progress. You just need to zero down to who is against progress. And learn your lessons. There is no pressure. And no one should pressure you. No one should steal from you. And no one should destroy what he/she did not build. You are your own person. And you will make that known to the foreign forces. Let them know that they identified a wrong person. You are the wrong person in their plans. Because you know who you are. And you will not tolerate nonsense. Your life is your business. And no one can interfere.

Speak Authority

Stamp your foot. Tell them you are in charge. And not anyone else. You are always in charge. And no one will come from anywhere or nowhere to disrupt you. You will live your life according to your standards. You will not compromise. You will not panic. You will be you. And whoever thinks has authority try touching you. You did not just happen. You have been living this life for a long time. And you have learned to separate chaff from grain. You are a level-headed human being. One that thinks before doing things. Your commonsense is on all the time. They will not play games in your territory. You will show them what you are made off. When they parade foolishness. Show them that you are made of integrity. You will not stoop to their level. You will remain in charge. And follow the course that made the person you are now.    

Don’t become what you are not. Struggles should not change you. Unexpected events should not change you. Fear should not change you. When all these threats unit and come at you. Don’t panic. Remember the journey that you have covered. Every mile that you have conquered. And remember what kept you moving despite threats then. Nothing is new in these challenges. The threats have only camouflaged. They have used false impressions to magnify themselves. They are appearing like mountains. However, they are not real mountains. They are only employing maneuvers to scare you. But you will speak authority. You will remind these new threats that you are the leader. You run this place. And your operations are always smooth. And nothing has changed. You will still make progress. You will be yourself. And you will run your business as you wish. Not what the new circumstances wish.

Get the message out there. Let them know that you are in charge. Let the threats know that you are the boss.  And as the boss. You solve problems. You will solve this problem too. You will not become what you are not. Instead you will become yourself and end this silliness. Insecure people should play their insecure games very far away from you. But right here. You live in purpose. You have earned your favor. And no one will take it away. That is the message. And it will only become louder with change of time. You will lead your life until the threats get tired. After all, you are not the one that started plotting. You were having a good time. Until some people thought joy is not your portion. So let idle minds deal with their idleness. You will not change. You will be yourself. And protect your territory.
