Are You Your Circumstances?

This question was posed at a meeting I attended today.  I immediately thought about being in water.  Maybe you jumped in with both feet, or were pushed or even fell in unexpectedly.  The circumstance is that you are in water, but are you the water? 

Of course not, you are in the water, but not the water itself.  After you surface, you start to tread water and assess the situation.  And that's good, because you want to get your bearings.  You look around and decide in which direction to head.  Maybe there's a boat nearby or maybe you have to swim a bit.  Maybe you don't even know how to swim and at this point your are panicking.

Just as will all circumstances in life, you have choices.  You could just give up and sink to the bottom.  You could flop around and holler for help.  You could start to swim toward what you preceive as dry land.  Or you could climb back into the boat and be a lot more careful in the future.

We often find ourselves in new and sometimes scary situations, and are having trouble figuring out what to do.  It's always important to remember that you are not the circumstance and you always have choices on how to react.

I can help you separate from the circumstance and recognize your choices.  I'm not going to jump in the water with you, but I promise to help you figure out what to do next.
