Clear thinking often depends on where you stand. Even genius looks ordinary if circumstances force them into a bad position. Isn't it interesting how your situation can affect your ability to come up with great ideas? Take chess as an example. A master's genius shines only when they get their pieces to favourable spots.

Let's take top athletes. They didn't just luck into their spots. They worked for it. Long before the whistle, the cheers, the game - the preparation began. Rigorous training sessions. Analysis of opponents' tapes. Nutrient-filled diets. These planned steps moved them closer to success.

The parallels in life are strange. This trend spans across all disciplines. Business. Work. Success, as the high-achievers say, isn't just about smarts. It's about making moves to get a leg up on the competition.

One factor often gets neglected: your position at crunch time. It is not just about hitting your goal. It's about being in the right place, right mindset, when the moment comes. This 'sweet spot' can make or break your success.

But, here's the empowering part: you're in control. You are sitting at the driver's seat, no matter the circumstances. There's always a step to take, a choice to make. You can choose health by eating well, financial security with savings, advance career-wise, take more work responsibilities, cut out toxic relationships. You can learn and grow.

Owning your circumstances means preparing yourself for victory, irrespective of the situation. When you’re on top of your game, every pathway leads to success. But if you let circumstances lead, you might find a dark, rainy day ahead.

In the long run, positioning beats predicting. It's not about foreseeing every scenario, but smart preparation. So, if clarity's what you’re after, the magic is in the positioning. And thankfully it's not the alignment of the stars, but rather, your own.
