Get Into A Good Position

Your situation at any point shapes the options you have.

When you are in a good spot, most options are favorable. But when you’re in a bad spot, your choices also tend to be negative. That doesn’t mean you can’t get lucky in a bad situation, but it’s harder, and there’s no reward for making things harder than they need to be.

So, what is your choice? Do work today that improves the position you are in tomorrow.

You can’t predict the future, but you can improve your situation tomorrow by taking care of yourself today—getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active.

You can’t control the stock market, but you can avoid being a forced seller tomorrow by diversifying your portfolio today.

You can’t predict life’s twists, but you can prepare by saving some money for tough times today.

You can’t predict when the next promotion opportunity will emerge, but you can certainly be ready by building the right skills ahead of time.

When your circumstances force you to take some action, you invariably end up making a series of bad choices.

Bottomline-Being in a strong position gives you the power to shape your circumstances. But when you’re in a weak position, your circumstances end up controlling you.
