When we are talking about The Model we have 5 lines that we are working with. The first line is the Circumstance line. Many people want to say this is the source of your problems but this is not actually the truth. It is the facts of your model but it isn't the truth.

What is a Circumstance?

• Any event that is happening in your life.
• The event can be positive or negative, good or bad
• We often give this circumstance power
• These are things that are outside of our control
• They are facts and only facts. They do not have any modifiers in them (i.e. I spent way too much money, My wife is mad, My mother in law is controlling)
• If you are using words a person says that is to be a direct quote
• above all remember circumstances are neutral

What do you mean a circumstance is neutral?

No there are bad circumstances!

The circumstance has no influence on your outcome.

• The choice of how you see the circumstance is how you will show up.

The power a circumstance has over you is in your thoughts
