You can overcome the circumstances which hinder your ultimate success.

When there is a train wreck, the engineers of trains which are scheduled to follow the train which has been wrecked, act wisely. They do not close their eyes and assert that there is no wreck. Neither do they attempt to "plow through" the pile of wreckage. Instead, they switch their trains to other tracks, and even use other railway lines, while wrecking crews are at work clearing away the wreckage.

Be wise!

First, do not deny the existence of things that seem to hinder and oppose you-for, of course, there are circumstances which hinder your success and conditions which oppose your advancement. Second, do not attempt to plow through circumstances and conditions. Instead, overcome them-that is, "come over them" into success.

The word "circumstance" means "that which encircles," or "that which stands around." Circumstances are always secondary factors. In themselves, they are never an essential part of yourself, or your work, or your surroundings. They are conditions which stand around, somewhere, near you. Hence, you can always find a way of switching around them.

Moreover, you can build your own switch tracks whenever and wherever you please. You can do so instantly. The switching of a plan or act depends upon a change of thought. Man can think a thousand ideas an hour, and establish a hundred switching tracks in a minute. So do not deny that hindrances exist, but recognize that they can NOT prevent you from securing that which you want.

Why should you let circumstances hinder you? Who created them? God, or man? Who maintains and continues them? God, or man? Circumstances are of two kinds: those which are helpful, and those which hinder. All helpful circumstances are created by God; and every circumstance, which seems to hinder you in any effort, is created by man, himself.

Since all hindering circumstances are man-created, they can be overcome by man.

Hence, there is a sane and sensible basis for hope. It is the first step in overcoming. It inspires you to go forward. It saves you from depression and discouragement. It makes you persist in finding a way of switching around hindering circumstances, and lifts you up to overcome them. Cheerfulness will not kill worry, optimism will not kill pessimism, enthusiasm will not kill indifference-unless sired by hope. Hope comes from within, and is yours on demand. It kills your fear-thought, inspires your forethought, and impels you to action!

Since all circumstances which oppose your success are man-created, they can be overcome by man, and those which hinder you, can be overcome by you!

If you think financial circumstances hinder your success, go after what you lack and get it! If you think that you are hindered by "No Credit" and "No Financial Backing," find out what they are, and get them!
