Circumstances vs. Decisions
- Thread starter ceo_pte
- Start date
Well, obviously your decisions determine your circumstances. But circumstances should determine your decisions as well. Not sure where you're going with this - or are you just trying to stir up conversation?

must be a lawyer!
it's both, now the real question is which came first: the chicken or the egg!

But I'm not confused. :shrug: I'm just not a black and white thinker.
I'm where I'm at today in life with a little bit of luck and a little bit of good decision making. Some of the best decisions I've ever made in my life were simply pulled out my arse with very little thought involved. Some of the worst were well thought out and planned. :shrug:
I just go with the flow and make the best of what's handed to me. My father has always said, and is correct, that I could fall into a barrel of sh!t and still come out smelling like roses. I've got good Karma.

Maybe your karma's not so good then? :shrug:
Honestly, I still sit back in amazement as to how I got where I am today. I joined the Air Force on a whim. Went in "Open General", so I coulda very well wound up with a job sucking the crap out of an aircraft's toilets (knew a girl in the AF who landed that fine job). I was assigned an AFSC that I had no clue as to what in the world it was. "Radio Communications Analysis Specialist". Spent 6 years in the AF doing that, and have managed to land some pretty decent jobs out of it. It's not like I purposely chose this route, it's just where I wound up. :shrug:

If you tried using that narrow pea-sized brain of yours, you'd know that BAD things happen to good people also.
Go thump your bible a little and tell me if Job was a bad person.
Exactly. A lot of really bad crap happens to a lot of innocent kids every day. They've done nothing to deserve it.
And sometimes really good things happen to really crappy people.

Temporarily, he had to go through crap. After his ordeal he was blessed more abundantly than he was before he lost everything.
There are some sensitvie people on here...

Help me out here. So do you make the decisions that determine your circumstances or does God? Does God give you the circumstances and then you make the decisions?
Why make any decisions at all if God will take care of it for you?
And Sharon is correct, bad circumstances do happen to good people.
I knew I shoulda ignored this thread.
I knew exactly where it was going as soon as you posted it.

Stop crying... you give credit to luck or Karma, I give it to God. Your opinion and my opinion... There is something called free will, but you would probably just bounce through life on luck and karma...
