Circumstantial Evidence

Dani Johnson is now a sought after speaker, author, Relationship Marketing Expert, and success coach. Before that though, she was a young, broke cocktail waitress, living out of her car with $2.03 to her name. Some of you know the feeling. I do. I remember back in college I had $3.28 in my checking account. I had loads of college debt, getting loads more, and I was working part time between classes just to make ends meet. For a couple of years, I wasn’t even sure I could continue paying for college. Who’s with me here?

At one of her recent training events, she said something that really caught

my ear. She said, “I cannot leave my life up to circumstances. Circumstantial people just wind up with lots of piles of circumstances. We cannot be waiting for the perfect circumstances to cause ourselves to go out and do what we know we should be doing to succeed. We have got to rise up out of that.”

Wow. How powerful is that? What are your circumstances and what are you doing to rise up above it? I know what I’m doing…
