Let’s take the control…

Sometimes it’s difficult to say whether we are in a position to change anything in our life. It’s true that change is inevitable and we are bound to change. Most of the time these changes happen and take us with the flow. And the changes are not seen by us. If we meet someone, maybe after a long time, they might observe that, we have gone through a big process of changes during that period of “no see”. Even along with our seemingly dull and monotonous daily routine, we change. And this is good. Otherwise being a member of an evolved species like “Homo Sapiens”, we could not sustain in our life.

Accepting the above, we should take control over most of the changes happening in our life. We should be more aware. We should be more observant. We should be more alerted and be sure, if we want to let any changes to come in our life.

We don’t have the power over everything happens in our life, but I said “most”, we should take control of MOST of the changes going to happen in our own life.

What we are going to gain with this empowerment of ourselves. Let’s analyse that.

First thing, we will not be able to blame some one else on failures of our own. This is very important. If we fail in something, naturally, quite instantaneously we search for someone to blame. This is bad. If we’ve failed, that means we’ve done something wrong. This also influenced by external parties. But if we take the external influences as variables, then nothing remains but us, no one else, only ourselves. And if no one else to blame, we can do self reflection. And move on in our own life, swearing to not make the same mistake again, and maybe if we’re going to do the same thing, there will be great wisdom with us from the previous experience, as we’ve already analysed the reasons of failure for us.

Secondly, if we take the decisions on our own, we’ll take the decision with our own conscience, so judging our own limit and preparedness. Even we can get some time to get prepared. So, the probability of failure will be less.

Thirdly, we will be able to execute the new decisions with a grace. Failure may happen but at-least the try would be at it’s best, because we will start the change being prepared. And there will be no reticence of doing something along the path prepared by some one else. This will also reduce the probability of failure.

So, let’s take our decisions on our own. Take control of our own life. Thus most importantly let’s be successful.
