Who is the captain of your life- you or your circumstances?

Have you been impacted by circumstances beyond your control? Do you ponder how you became ensnared in the web of events? Despite your innocence, you find yourself victimized by the actions or inactions of others.

Yes, for some reasons, maybe sometimes without even a reason we all become victims of circumstances. We can’t be the captain of our lives always.

For example, natural calamities can happen any time. People call it as fate (fate or not, I don’t know if there is a supernatural power tossing the Dice or rolling some cause-effect wheels to determine our fate). Anyways people become victims of such circumstances.

But for the circumstances you created, don’t try to garnish yourself with a victim label. It was your failure to do it on time which made you suffer the loss.  That’s a clear case of causal relation or the so called “Karmmaphala“.
Also don’t use it as an excuse for bad behaviour like a crew thrown in jail  who still claims to be a victim of circumstances.

What to do when you become a true victim of circumstances?

Believe in the power of hard work and right attitude. Detach yourself from the outcomes, whether they bring success or failure, recognizing that external circumstances beyond your control may influence them. Once you realize that,  you won’t self criticize for not being at the right place at the right time. Simultaneously, avoid seeking external empathy.

Elevate yourself from self-pity or a victim mindset, for survival is imperative. Remember, if you’re reading this, you’re alive and enduring—just like me—unscathed by any asteroids thus far. Your resilience in overcoming adversity defines your endurance.

Who is the captain of your life- you or your circumstances? 

Life is a mixture where you can taste the flavours of your own actions or non-actions as well as that of others.

Keep your attitude up and work hard, let your passion be stronger than your weakness, leave the rest to the universal justice( a cause – effect relation which may be above to our consciousness to grasp) or randomness (things are just random or just some coincidences, and we are being fooled by this randomness) 

Whatever happened was not in your control, so now its time to change yourself from a victim mindset to the mindset of being at cause.

Again something which you have no control may happen tomorrow, breaking you into pieces. Then  give enough space and time for your mind to come back. It will survive as you already have an attitude of being at cause.
