habits of circumstance



some people want it all...snow...i want snow...

i want to be snow flakes, just moments before they touch the ground...

...touch...lets go...all praise is due...

circumstance is to be required by the force of nature to respond...

...lack of food, lack of water...out, scavenging, working for $2-3 an hour to buy a loaf of bread and peanut butter...

...circumstance is be on time or you lose this job, which means no pay, means no rent $, means out on the streets, means no wife, kids, friends...gonna go to work, gonna set the alarm, gonna go to bed extra early, gonna drink coffee and do jumping jacks to stay up...

...circumstance is there is a paper due tmmrw for a class you paid $1100 for, and if you fail, you lose that $$ and have to take that class again, otherwise you lose the opportunity to get the certificate/diploma/license you need to get the job that will give you a job that will pay your rent and bills, and food...

circumstance is performance tomorrow, in front of friends and family, no $ involved, but reputation, the sight and thoughts and words of others hold gravity...and you have to get it more than right...you have to do great, otherwise...rumors, disappointment, perceptions, status, bridges - burnt...

...circumstance is i am doing this workshop with someone i know...we are in it together, we set a date and a time and a place, and already put the deposit down, now we need the people, we need 5 at this price-point to break even - 10 to make minimum wage for all the hours we put in, and 20, to make it worthwhile...

...set up the circumstances in the areas you are interested in...that will grow you in your field of passion, in your path...

...do it now...
