Take charge

Somewhere along the path of life every successful person finds out how to live their own life as they wishes to live it. They don't let themselves to become victims of circumstances.

This is information age, where information is flowing freely, thick and fast. Most of us are influenced by these information. They shape our day, months, years and even destiny.

If we feed our minds with weeds, we can expect to harvest only weeds. When we sow potatoes, we can expect to reap only potatoes and not tomatoes.

We listen to media news, read information on the internet and say, “The country is messed up.” This is like cursing the soil, seed, sunshine and the rain, which is all we’ve got. When we get our own planet, we can rearrange this whole deal.

Walk away from the crowd. Don’t use their excuses. Take charge of life.

Take advice, but not orders. Only give yourself orders.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Since I will be no one’s slave, I will be no one’s master.”

We must take personal responsibility. We cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but we can change ourselves. That is something we have charge of. We don’t have charge of the universe, but we do have charge of whether we read the right materials, develop new skills and take up new jobs.

Our paycheck is not our employer’s responsibility; it’s our responsibility. Our employer has no control over our value, but we do.

    very very good post, bash…. u have really done a great job…i often see people not sowing at all yet excepting to harvest very exotic crops! somewhere mass media has killed individual thought process .in the arushi murder case…every1 rushed to blame the poor father,after that with equal fervor the police….every1 blamed the media. your sign off line is really good….yes, we are the ones who decide our own worth….

  18. Amisha Nair says

    very truely said…taking charge of life will allow us to make our dream true. Its always better to take responsibility of our own selves and improvise.

  19. sarita singh says

    a very inspiring post indeed. yes, its frustrating to see people who blindly follow someone & expect to get a piggy back ride to their goals, esp in the fied of work…. very nicely written ….we have to choose our paths ourselves and be prepared to face the results bravely….some decisions will go wrong,but we have to remember that when we decided to tread that path,why we did it, why it seemed right to us before… that will help in salvaging the situation….and also prevebt us from making similar mistakes in future…. read a very beautiful article by kiran bedi a few years back on situations like these…its like my bible on life, making right decisions and coping with mistakes,… the most important link in this whole chain is the decision making…. use your free will and dont waste time or energy blaming others….instead that can be used to rectify the things that have gone wrong and move on
    a very very good write up friend!
