Strategic Positioning

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." -Marilyn Monroe

 

Being in the right place at the right time I believe is all you need.  This is Strategic Positioning. This rule governs my every move. The Pretenders once said “once in a while, two people meet, seemingly for no reason they just pass on the street. Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere, who could explain the thunder and rain but there is something in the air’’. Depending on where you are at a particular time -- your life can change, either for the better or for worse. But we make the best out of what we have. You make do. Life has no rewind button, undo command, delete key. There is no time or chance to change what you have already done. You just have to live with the consequences. In the end, if and when these consequences work out so well for you, you wonder ‘what if I didn’t make that wrong turn at that particular time or crossroad in my life’, would I even be here? Would I have ever known, understood or experienced what I am experiencing right now? Maybe, just maybe what I’m experiencing right now is better than I ever imagined the supposed ‘right’ path would have been. 

So rather than complaining about what you may not have, or what you could have had, think about what you have experienced in this unknown path. Don’t cry over a lost love or a broken heart, because "someday someone will come into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else". If you are still not satisfied with yourself, next time, position yourself correctly, strategically. May it be a restaurant, at work, on the bus, cause who knows who will walk through that door. If you were sitting at a restaurant and your soul mate walks in and you are turning your back towards them, you are going to regret not believe in strategic positioning. After all what you do when the opportunity comes along matters the most. So think strategically, position strategically, live strategically.
