Personal success is linked to your choices

To be human is to have freewill!
Or at least that is how I see it.

To have freewill means that we have choices. The problem with choices is that we have to make them. We have to take responsibility for them.


Many people would prefer not to take responsibility for their choices, rather they will let others make their choices for them. Then they can blame the other for making a "bad" choice. Maybe the problem is that they are unwilling, or unable, to share responsibility or to understand what their responsibility is. But then whose responsibility is it?


As a sole/soul proprietor you are responsible. If you want to own your business, if you want to own your life, you have to take responsibility for the choices you make in your business and in your life. There is no insurance policy that you can buy to protect you if your decisions is not the right one.


There is no guarantee that the choices you have to make are going to be the best choices. The choices we have, are the options, alternatives, that life offers us at this moment in time and in this place. However, there is one choice that we always have, regardless of the time or place. That is the choice of not choosing.


But then, if we avoid the Choices we have, who do we blame? Who do I blame for not buying Google when it went public? There is really no answer to this question except "I take responsibility for my actions -- even if it means taking a lose".

To place blame is to surrender your freedom to others. And that is a choice, a bad choice.

Only when you take responsibility can you move forward. Only by taking responsibility for your choice, do you open up the opportunity to make a new choice.
And by learning from the past failure can you move on to success.

WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?
