What
is the type of person you choose to be?
Admired,
feared, envied or trusted?
Is
it just a wish to possess those qualities or do you consciously make an effort
to develop them in you?
Because
no character was built in a day or by mere wishing!
Character
is nothing but a series of habits chosen over the time, choices made over
period and beliefs developed bye and by.
Nobody
– absolutely nobody and that includes your Guru and God too, can make that choice
for you. They can’t develop an attitude that you don’t have. That is your choice
and area to be worked on.
They can stand by you, cheering you to get up as you
fail a thousand times. They can show the pros and cons of every choice, but the
choice you have to make. They can show you the path, show you pitfalls there
and give you tips to avoid them but walk you have to on these paths. They can
give or guide you techniques to make this journey faster and easier but apply
them you must!
Don’t
ever
expect anyone to walk your path – they can’t! However much they would love to
do it on your behalf it is against the Nature’s Law of respecting ‘freewill’.
Will
you be satisfied and healthy on an empty stomach if someone else is eating on
your behalf?
Your
salary is paid to someone else. Will you accept it?
No
one can breathe for you.
No
one can eat or sleep on your behalf. Similarly, no one can work on your
attitude but yourself.
Know
this and start thinking and living right!
And
stop blaming others for ‘Not being there’ for you!

True, so true!
There were times when someone (mentor/guru/elder) pointed out my shortcomings, but I chose to look away because it was convenient for me to avoid it.
It’s when I started taking these advised seriously and started choosing to work on it, that I started seeing growth. The path is not hard; we just need to keep our ego aside and make the right choices.
There is no point in appreciating self/justifying self or receiving appreciation from others without actually working on possessing that attitude. Our conscience does a good work of pricking us when there are no grounds for that appreciation.
Thank you ma’am for this post!
