Take Control

To take control of something means to have full command of it. There are so many things in our every day lives that we need to take control of - our intake of food, way of presenting ourselves to the society and so forth.

One thing that we as humans always miss to take control is ourselves. Try to think about the past few days where things have gone wrong, or things did not happen the way we wanted. We tend to overlook the fact that (most of the time) we let 'others' have control over the things that we were supposed to be in control.

Take for example; a little problem comes your way and you are aware that the problem is small and can be solved easily. But somehow or another, you take the problem for granted that it can be solved by itself and left it as it is without bothering to have any conection to do with it anymore. In the end, the problem is left unsolved and you fret over it not being solved as you wished it to be. Sounds familiar?

Well, that is not what taking control means. To have full command of the problem means there is a need for responsibility. In the first place when the problem comes, find out the root cause of it and think of ways to handle it best. Don't wait for someone to do it for you - you have your own brains and I trust that you can distinguish good from bad as easily as a little kid knows who is the father and the mother. You are old enough. You have the capability to decide for yourself, and take control of your own problems. You control your own life.

So friends, think outside the box. Do not constrain yourself to what is inside only, but look outside and open your minds to learn the differences. Learn to deal with problems yourself, and be independent. If you don't start now, when are you going to learn?
