Be Your Own Boss

Every one of us want to achieve something, to be something. The desire to be something is very natural. The basic purpose of this blog is share information and skills with others which is necessary to help us become something.

How can we achieve this? Is there a short cut for this or easy path? The answer is plain no. What is the way out? The most basic thing is to have right approach. And this is probably the most difficult thing to have.

To be something, we must be very clear that the entire game of becoming depends on us and not on others. This is a very common statement which people make. But very few really know this or live with this view. What does it mean? It simply means that it is very difficult to change others, to mould others according to our views and ideas.

There are many problems in affecting changes in others. First of all every individual is an entity with his own views, aspirations and ambitions. Unless our goal fulfils their ambitions, there is hardly any chance that they will respond to our idea of change in their life or environment.

Everyone wants to achieve something and our goal of achievement should meet others this basic need of achievement. For instance, if I want to become CEO of my organisation, then I must be able to take work from my team. Why team should work. Only salary is no motivation.

People will work for me only if they are convinced that by doing what I say they will get something. It can be anything from higher pay packet to promotion or gratification in the sense of award or reward. Same is true for political leaders and others who want to gain something.

I may be very intelligent or brave. Unless my profile meet the requirement for the award or achievement,I am just useless for that award or achievement. Even those who have redefined success in the uncharted regions have ,in some way, achieved something for which there was dormant desire or unexploited redy ground.

Without that how can we change situation to our advantage. So the first lesson of self development and achieving something is that we should forget controlling others if we have to really achieve something substantial something great.

Then, what you should do? Try to be your own BOSS. It is easy to change yourself, rather than the world. If you cannot change yourself, what can you expect from others. If you will keep this fact about change in your life, your efforts will be more in right direction. You have to be just aware of the fact that you can change only yourself and not others.
