To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents.

One of the most overlooked opportunities in life is how you are positioned when circumstances hit. Good positions create opportunities. While bad positions reduce
them. Poor positioning kills more dreams than poor decisions. Good positions allow you to master your circumstances rather than be mastered by them.

There are many situations in life you do not control, but you often contribute to them. I cannot control the rain, but I can control my clothing. I cannot control your feelings, but I can control my kindness. I cannot control my opponent, but I can control my response. You cannot control most outcomes in life, but you can usually influence them. Releasing your attachment to the results does not mean releasing your responsibility to the situation.
