What is the type of person you choose to be?






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!
