 Circumstances not make the man. It reveals him to himself Now this is a great quote by James Allen that I resonate with deeply because of its application in my life I've investigated. I've seen it. I've seen this happen time in and time out again people in the same circumstances with utterly and completely different results people With what you would call privileged circumstances good parents Good financial situation living in the first world plenty of opportunities for success and Yet some of these people squander is some of these people spend most of their days Watching World of Warcraft masturbate into pornography all day Doing completely nothing that's gonna benefit them and you have the other spectrum. You have people born in Complete and utter shit people born in Countries that oppress them countries that don't even respect some of the human rights or freedoms that we take for granted here and Yet, these people are still able to rise above Mediocrity rise above what you would expect of them given their situation given their circumstance Circumstance does not make the man It reveals the man to himself. What type of man are you is what's revealed through your circumstances? How you act how you behave how you conduct yourself to the various situations that inevitably rise up in life for example, if you Recently got rejected by a girl or something. Is that gonna be the end of you? Are you going to? Sook around all day stay in your bed Be powerless be depressed and achieve nothing or are you going to feel the pain? But get on with it are you going to man up and realize that there are more important things in life than to Sit around feeling sorry for yourself that particular circumstance Girl from breaking up with you revealed your character as a man How you acted how you were able to overcome the adversity? Take any example for example moving to a different country Because of maybe the economy in your country is tend to shit. There's no jobs for you Perhaps you need to go to Singapore not learn a new language Make new friends get away from your family get out of your sense of security How are you going to act? Are you gonna crumble or you're going to be able to? Take up the opportunity and do what's necessary the circumstance will reveal You to yourself. Who are you the only way you can find out is through tests now? I'm becoming Kind of in a sick and twisted way Someone who likes tests are like difficult things. I like having an assignment that's due in three days and Being on three hours of sleep. How am I going to handle it? Am I going to sleep? Am I gonna give in or am I going to hustle? Am I gonna smash this thing? I like doing new things. I like getting out my comfort zone because every time I do something new It reveals another trait to me that I didn't know about beforehand. It reveals another gem You slowly it's kind of like artists when they are making a Masterpiece they they will be removing bits and pieces and revealing something underneath Sometimes they add things but with circumstances. It's like the unraveling procedure you seeing who you are slowly, but surely Now I invite you to try and get out your comfort zone a bit put yourself in different circumstances and To see Exactly where you're at at this moment and don't be discouraged if you are not exactly Where you thought you were or who you thought you should be because you can always work on ourselves That's the good thing about life. It's a good thing about this game of life There's always room for progression if you're willing. There's always things you can do So put yourself in these circumstances. Don't be like a base beast don't be stuck in the loop of homeostasis where you're Resisting change don't be stuck Always go for adaptation always expand always look for these new circumstances Anyway, I'm out if you guys liked that video make sure you like the video make sure you subscribe you haven't subscribed Big things coming.
