QOD-034: George Bernard Shaw – Get up and look for the circumstances you want!

August 3, 2015 by Tony Woodall

George Bernard Shaw  Quote The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want . .

George Bernard Shaw

I was researching Arianna Huffington the other day to get more information for the quote of hers I was going to use on Goal Getting Quote of the Day. I saw she was on Instagram. I started following her and found a great quote she shared there. I think it very powerful and wanted to take it and share it with you. So, be sure to thank Arianna.

This quote is from George Bernard Shaw:

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstance they want, and if they can’t find them – Make Them — George Bernard Shaw

Wow, do you get the power in that quote? I don’t necessarily mean the power in what IT says, but instead what it says you have the power to do.

Do you want to be one of the people that get on in this world? Admit it, you do or you wouldn’t be listening to this podcast. YOU want to achieve your goals. YOU want to Get The Goals You Set. According to Shaw’s quote you just have to get up and look for the circumstances you want.

If you want to be something, go out and look for that thing. Find someone that is what you want to be and ask them to teach you. Pay them if you have to. But go out and find the circumstances you want.

The Power I was talking about early is the last part. If you can’t find the circumstances you want – Make Them. That is powerful. Goal Getters, we have the power to make our own circumstances. We have the power to create what doesn’t exist.

The Wright brothers wanted to fly. They believed they, that man, could fly.  There was no circumstance out there at that time. And they didn’t have the technology we have today.  People who want to get on in this world today create their own circumstances frequently.

If you can find the circumstances you want – Make Them.

If you need some help on setting goals and going out to get the circumstances you want, you can use our Goal Getter Goal Setting Worksheet. It will help you set The What, The Why and The How. Then you can go out and Make Your Circumstances you need to Get The Goals You Set.
