Tiny ThoughtThe position you find yourself in determines the options available.Almost all the options available are positive when you put yourself in a good position. When your position is bad, however, almost all the options available are negative. That's not to say good outcomes can't come from a bad position, but there are no points for playing on hard mode.There is always something you can do to improve your position. While this seems deceptively simple, there is a lifetime of wisdom behind it.You can't predict what will happen tomorrow, but you can improve your position by sleeping, eating healthy, and working out. You can't predict what the stock market will do tomorrow, but you can improve your position by ensuring you are never a forced seller. You can't predict what will happen in your job or life, but you can improve your position by always having a little bit of money on the side. You can't predict if you will get a promotion, but you can put yourself in a position to get it by acquiring the skills you need before it becomes available.Good positioning lets you control your circumstances. Poor positioning lets your circumstances control you.When you are forced to act by circumstance, a chain reaction of increasingly poor choices follows.
