We Change

It is our wrong perception that changing circumstances around us force the change in us. It is other way round. When we change, the circumstances also change, for better or worse. Circumstances don't & should not have the power to force the change on us. The power to change rests with us. Circumstances only impinge upon our life when we allow them to do so. And then we complain that they made us. The moment you think so, you abdicate your power to change. And with that, you also sacrifice the joy of living. In a moment, you convert from master to slave. What a pity !
