Firstly, let’s look at the words Circumstances & Responsibility as they go hand in hand.

Circumstance : A fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action. (Oxford Dictionary) Events that change your life, over which you have no control. (Cambridge Dictionary)

Responsibility : the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something, in short – the ability to Respond.

I often make reference to a quote by James Allen – “Circumstances do not make the man, it reveals him to himself” .In other words, how you deal with any circumstance or respond to it, reveals you to yourself, the circumstance does not define you, your response to it does.

When we are born, we are born into a set of circumstances which we have no control over, no manual or road map on how to navigate through this life. We are also born without beliefs, a clean slate for that matter but as we grow, we develop over time and out of the rich tapestry of experience that we have in life, i.e. from our parents, our teachers our peers, the media etc. etc. a set of Beliefs form that govern our lives, our emotions our self-worth, our self-confidence all ultimately play a big part in our happiness.

Every morning we wake up with our beliefs –  of ourselves, our skills, our values, our dignity, our deficiencies, other people, school, work, recreation or hobbies – our beliefs of the world, politics, crime, environment and beliefs of a 1000 different concepts, but what we are not told, is that these beliefs are not necessarily true and don’t necessarily serve us. They are merely perception and projections.

What has beliefs got to do with Circumstances & Responsibility?

We have a responsibility to accept the circumstances that help create our beliefs and question them. If you question a concept, idea or belief enough and introduce sufficient doubt or education one will eventually come to disbelieve it and replace it with beliefs that serve us in order to become the best person you can be –  creating your own happiness.
