Your parents don't manage you. Your family doesn't, your friends don't and even your boss or employer doesn't (Thank god for that). You manage yourself. Everyday you make countless decisions, knowingly or unknowingly, for your good or for your worse.
As the saying goes, you can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy.
Odds are, that you are your worst enemy than being your best friend.
I'm always amazed at often how people choose to not work on themselves - fitness, career, family lives, mental health or for that matter, even a simple task of taking care of themselves by eating right and sleeping well.
We are surprised when we come across an individual who has ventured out on his own and is persevering to make it big. We are envious when we come across an individual who is fit and healthy. And we are pleasantly surprised when we see a strong bond amongst the family members. But there is one thing that is common amongst them - they have worked on themselves to be in the place they are.
This pandemic has shown how vulnerable we are and how each one of us is 'both dependent and independent', at the same time.
There are many books that can teach you on how to manage yourself but there is no book that can instill the 'desire and willingness to learn, adapt and change' in you. It is up to the INDIVIDUAL. Under the current circumstances, it's hard to fathom if there is anything more important than this.
Let's begin.
