Spiritual or Circumstantial Living

I can hear his voice in my ear saying”you don’t want to give your Power to worry, doubt and fear…Oh No, you don’t want to engage in circumstantial living.” I must have heard the phrase “circumstantial living” over one hundred times before I realized what it meant realizing simultaneously that was exactly what I was doing. When I was happy, life was GOOD. When I was having a bad day, life sucked and something was wrong with me, God, or someone/something else.
