Let’s look at another example, this time from world of business.

Suppose you are looking for a dry cleaning service to use on a weekly basis. There are two in your neighborhood, and you decide to visit each one. When you walk into first one, you are struck by how dim lights are, how cluttered counter is, and by fact that you had to wait five minutes for clerk to come out to see you. When he finally does, he looks at ground while he explains to you that lights are so dim because rent is high and they are trying to cut costs.

So you visit second dry cleaning business, and immediately notice a big difference. The store is bright, counters are clean, and clerk is waiting at counter as you walk in, with a demeanor that says to you, "I am ready to serve you." He politely explains all his stores policies, and you have a very good feeling as you leave.

Which dry cleaning service will you pick? The second one. Why? Because store, and clerk, “sold” you on that store. In clerk’s case, he sold you on himself.

Selling yourself is nothing to be afraid of. All it takes is a little self-confidence and a little effort to display that self-confidence, whether in form of your dress, your appearance, your conversation, or your people skills.

I was once told "if you don't take responsibility for what enters your mind, you risk allowing others to educate you. And they may not have your best interests at heart." Think about this. It is so important to take responsibility for what you allow into your mind. Eliminating negative inputs and focusing instead on positive, life-enhancing feeds which take you closer to your goals is vital.

Taking personal responsibility is a big step - somewhat frightening initially. No more crutches to lean on, no more "I could've been something if only...", no more hand holding from well meaning but misguided souls who fuel your fears and stop you from taking action. From this moment on, accept that you are Captain of your ship. You plot course, you select landmarks and ports you need to stop at en route to final destination: real you who lives your dream life.

Personal responsibility means you give yourself power to command. Yes, it means you will make mistakes as you learn to become master of your destiny. But don't let fear stop you from taking command. Seize it. Plan. Act. Learn. Plan. Act. Learn. Refuse to be blown off course. Resolve everyday that no matter what happens, you will handle it and overcome it. And you will learn from experience and use it all as stepping stones towards your destiny.

Look at it this way: world is full of people who do same things week in, week out. Through no fault of their own, they will never ever achieve their full potential because they've been educated to conform. Why be like everyone else when you can be unique, inspired and fulfilled person living life on YOUR terms instead of terms of masses?

The world is crying out for your special talents. Why keep it waiting any longer?

Until next time.
