You are Your Own CEO!

Dear loving people,

Have you noticed that when you have such a burning desire to get something, you easily figure out how to get it? Friedrich Nietzsche says “He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.”

It is only when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your own life, that you must take charge and take control of your own fate, will you begin to shape your destiny. John Atkinson says “if you don't run your own life, somebody else will.”

At one point in my life, I had to decide like William Blake Plan states that “I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's.” Today, life goes easy for iPhone owners because Steve Jobs (1955-2001) had a burning desire to take a paradigm shift in mobile phone technology. He said “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Steve Jobs,

Fortunately or unfortunately, it has to be clear when you take upon the task of shaping your life that there is no free lunch, there is no reward without sweat and as a matter of fact, Vidal Sassoon says “The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.”

Everybody wants things from and for their lives. Various forms of abundance, financial wealth, building a great house, starting a successful business or charitable foundation, creating a family are a few of many possibilities. Effective CEOs take the time to identify what they truly want.

Excellent CEOs make vision attainment appear to be almost effortless ventures. This is because the decision has been made that their life and causes are so important to them and their families that effort represents a very minor price to pay. You can do same, you have to do same.

Only you can make or mare after all, what you become in life largely depends on you because and as I always say, only you are the CEO of your own life.
